If you live in Minnesota right now, I don't need to tell you how awesome it is when all that ice and snow starts to melt away. Yes, it's wet and messy and everything looks kind of dirty, but it's still awesome. Sunshine, sweet sunshine! It's amazing how long those 28 days in February can drag on...and then all it takes is that one gorgeous day with sunshine and the sound of water dripping off the roof to cheer everyone up (even when it is still only 40 degrees outside).
But you don't have to take my word for it - our lawn gnome, Thor, is able to see the world again after months of being buried alive (?) by a foot of snow!
Yes, Thor and I know that this sunshine and melting will end briefly when we get that inevitable March blizzard - but the Real Spring is not far away and I'm going to enjoy Temporary Spring while it lasts.
