Still snow but more shallow

Still snow in the yard, but less of it. There are actually some patches of ground showing. The daffodils are fighting up from under the snow. Red winged black birds were in the front yard this morning. Sunny in the 40's. Still way below the average for this time of year. Saw a great blue heron cruising over the other day. South of us in nashua the ground is bare. I have spring fever supreme. Started some tomatos. They are up in their warm trays in the basement. Who knows when they will be able to go outside. I dream of a late spring day with soft air and a light breeze and the smell of newly turned earth.
