Signs of Spring.

I was outside wandering around while the kids were napping today looking for signs of spring. I saw 3 large puddles and several small ones on top of the snow :) I saw bare earth under a big spruce tree, and under a group of trees. Then I saw GRASS... Oh how cool!! So I went forward for a closer look and it was the spot where Papa and I cut the bottom branches off of our Christmas Tree. Not grass. Branches!!! Oh well. I guess we are melting. We have melted as far back as Christmas :) 2 more months to go!! This picture was taken a few days ago for the layers of snow on the top of our new International. This snow has since slid off but it was neat to see the layers and layers of snow.
