The weather has improved a bit. At least it’s warmer now – so warm in fact that most of the snow has now melted. Thank goodness it was warmer too because it’s rained almost constantly for the past two days and if it had been colder all of the rain would have been snow.

But it’s still rather bleak and gloomy so again I’m posting something with a bit of color as a reminder that Spring is not too far away.
