Snow is almost gone

Today was a lovely day, days are longer, warmer and kids are older! Speaking of older, my son has lost one tooth already and a second one is loose, so we are anxious to see when it will come out. He is turning 7 next weekend, and I hope to see his classmates at Happy Wheels for the party.
Today we noticed the first blooming crocus - behind our house, in a sunny spot. A bright yellow sign of spring! We are expecting to see more especially in the front yard, but it's shaded and may take a while for all the snow to go away. Ducks are flying in pairs, and birds are incessant all day. The bird feeder is still attracting diners and a bee came to sniff around as I had honey in my tea cup. The world is abuzz with life!
