You guys, is it happening? Is spring upon us? For those of us who haven’t gone south for the winter, it’s been pure agony. But the daffodils coming up outside my house tell me that maybe hope is in the air? I don’t want to jinx it, but honestly it makes me feel pretty optimistic, even if it’s still pretty darn cold at night, because I’ve seen the sun a few days in a row and *gasp* the GRASS is coming up!! Please please please please be spring and not false winter 2.0!
