This is what I have to say to Mother Nature...

I was looking through photos today, trying to organize them a bit more for a (secret) project I am working on. I stopped when I came to the spring and summer photos, my heart yearns for warmer weather, for green grass, for flowers, bees, all things warmer weather. I know I have at least a month to go, the dirty snow, the brown grass and barren trees.

Hope does "spring" eternal, I have seen photos taken down south of signs of spring poking up through the dirt. It will be here, it will be here, it will it will it will!!!

Hi Andrea, the cow photo is great and it made me laugh. You have to have cabin fever with the terrible winter that you have had. Enjoy getting spring fever for it is not far away!

Andrea, I was trying to tell my husband that I saw new leaves on the crepe myrtles tonight but he told me it was just wishful thinking. It should not be long though.

By the way I wrote a post about a cow today also.

Ralph, my dog is now limping from slipping on the ice. He is very unhappy, as am I, LOL.

Anna Banana, I had inspections, am waiting for a bit more info on one. Week was good, just am tired of all this winter type stuff! Ice in the morning, changing over to rain. I have work to do!

Judith, that was my Valenine baby, see the heart on her forehead? I am ready for spring... over ready, LOL.

Marchel, I saw it, LOL. Nice place to live, that's what I say!

Richard, yeah, I hear ya....

Al & Peggy, isn't she cute? I do love cows, as everyone is more than aware of!

Andrea -- That was great. I certainly feel the same way. I've been pretty tolerant considering what we have been through, but it's really starting to get to me now. I visit all the blogs here that have pictures of flowers as I need some color therapy. Dirty white snow is not very appealing.....but, it will get beautiful and colorful soon enough! (I have to keep telling myself that!)

It is an interesting contrast of these two photos. There are a little bit different in terms of the angle, but I can't find that dark tower that I can see on the photo taken in 2010, and it is not on 2011.

Is it an optical illusion?

Hi Andrea, The photo of the church in both seasons is just beautiful. I am guessing that you will get the other two as time permits. Nice Idea for a collection. Spring will come soon because the colors are already starting t show up in photo blogs :)

Larry, our snow is so dirty, however today we are having quite a rain storm, after the freezing rain. I am done!

Jon, that is because of the angle, where I was standing, etc. It is the Episcopal Church tower you are seeing. Trust me, it is still there. Due to snow mounds I could not get the same shot. In the spring photo I was up higher, almost in the same location, in a bank parking lot. In the snow photo I was at street level, standing further north by just a few yards. Interesting you noticed that! Perhaps I need to make sure I stand on street level this spring to get a matching shot!

Sussie, it can get hot here, and humid, but oh do I want warmer days and green gras!

William, it can't get here soon enough! I didn't realize until yesterday that I had done this. I know they are not exactly the same, snow mounds made that impossible, but yes, I will certainly get these in summer and fall!

George, we should be banned from discussing it!

Sally, thank you! I am just so over it.

Jack, I agree, it seems like a dream, something that will never come.

Jackie, moi? LOLOLOL. The little calf said it all very well without me getting into trouble...

Michael, I reckon we do!

Hi Andrea, I am getting so sick of this stuff. I'm frantically trying to put myself in a more suitable frame of mind to focus more but everything I see is framed in white
