Ok... one more thought before I go to work:
I love spring in this area, like new spring. I looked out my window this morning to find that the green-belt behind my house has started to get all sorts of little green buds. (Woah, how long have I looked upon the winter browness of barren trees, WOAH I say... but there is cause for much rejoiceing, quotith I, for the buds have come...)

Ok... wish I had a digital camera so you all could see, BUT I don't, so you'll have to use your imagination, OR come visit me and see for yourself. =)
