The impatient buds on the witch hazel and the two-inch daffodil shoots have brought me to much the same conclusion. We've barely had any snow this year — not that I'm complaining. I will be perfectly happy with "winter lite."
An earlier spring gives me more chances to amble the paved paths and trails, more opportunities to hoof it up Wilson Avenue through Arlington on the way home from work. An earlier spring means more joy all around.
Which is why I won't say anything more about it. Don't want to tempt fate ...
