The Last of March

Tis the last day of March. Does that mean spring is really just around the corner? The sunny days would seem to imply that, but oh boy, the temps are still so chilly here in West Michigan. There is still a patch of snow in the corner of our front yard that refuses to melt away, but the briars in the woods in the backyard are starting to look green. And the birds! I've seen so many different varieties of birds already back from their winter vacations. Now if the grass would brighten with green and the forsythia would bud, then I'd feel confident that spring really had sprung.
