This has been a long winter. Many love winter, and the snow, and for those people, it has been an especially good winter.

I got a bit tired of the snow and cold about Feb. 15, so I’m ready for Spring. Yesterday I found two books on my shelf which teach about trees and birds. I look forward to spending more time outdoors, without a coat or a care. I also look forward to the sights, smells and sounds of Spring, and taking long walks.

With the clock changing, and the Red Sox training, I think we are almost there!
