Snow?

Where did the snow go? For that matter, where did winter go? I probably shouldn’t ask that question because winter could come roaring back at any time. Right now, the weatherman must think it’s springtime. The hyacinth by my front steps, which is all of 20 years old, is blooming. So, evidently it has been fooled into thinking winter is over too.

However, I’m suspicious. I’ve seen these false springs before. It isn’t even Valentine’s Day yet. So, maybe this is nature’s Valentine to all of us. I’ve a feeling we’d better enjoy it because, remember, weather is an untrustworthy friend.
