Ready for Spring

I am glad to see piles of snow vanishing into puddles of water, hear the birds singing in the trees and flying about in search of food which is much easier for them to find now. I am also seeing the green sprouts of the crocus sticking out of the ground getting ready to burst into flowers. I personally have seen enough of the cold, dry air but I am sure that the ski resorts have not been happy due to the lack of substantial snowfall. After all you do need snow if you want to go skiing during the winter. And water skiing during winter in North America is not a fun thing.
