Signs of Spring???

WELL, yes and no! Our road is down to the gravel, we are waiting for that sweeper to come by....Please!! The second shot shows the Highway...looks like spring except it's Sunny and Snowing at the same time. How is this possible?
We still have about a foot of snow in the back yard, but it is melting..... Hurray!


And then there are Signs of SPRING. My Lilac bush in the backyard has beautiful buds and the warmth of the sun can be felt as you stand there. Almost perfect!

But the BEST of all today......... Was this sweet little lady bug that C found. He was riding his bike and making jumps (of course!) and when he turned over some wood.... this little ladybug was nestled inside. I thought it was dead, but I was going to take pictures of it anyway. I put it in my hand and got my camera ready. In about a minute or so , it started to move! I was thrilled!!
So do the ladybugs hibernate? Might have to look this up! But believe it or not it was the high point of my day! A good sign that spring will soon be here, but mostly because C took the time to bring me this little treasure ...... "I knew you would love this" he said. How cool is that?
