No winter lasts forever: no spring skips it turn. ~Hal Borland
Living in Pennsylvania you have to be ready for any kind of weather. One day you can have snow; the next it is sunny and 60 degrees. I wrote this tonight with the help of my daughter as we had a phone conversation commiserating about the falling snow and wishfully talking about warmer weather. So far, just a two hour delay for tomorrow, but I am guessing that could change.

This is a great way to embrace spring! It snowed where I am today, unfortunately, but the reminders are always exciting to look forward to.

New York City has already canceled school tomorrow, and the rain has turned to snow by 9 p.m. I love your ABCs poem, especially Opening Day of Baseball (it’s been known to snow on that day, too!). That’s a great prompt for days when it seems nothing’s happened.

Oh, you gave me Spring Fever!! We’ve got snow here in Indiana, but thankfully not enough to affect tomorrow. I enjoyed reading your poem and thinking about what I’m looking forward, too! 😉
My favorite: Zinnias–brings back wonderful memories from my childhood. 🙂

I like how you anticipate the things to come this spring- I do wonder what “Free Rita’s Water Ice” means? And I know many of us are “Waiting for the school year to end”.

Rita’s Water Ice is a local franchise in the Philadelphia area and each year on the first day of spring they give out free cups of water ice. Long lines but worth it.

this was a fun post! I may have to try it some time with a piece of writing 🙂 so far our school has made no call yet (Maine), but I’m hoping for at least a delay– i’d love a snow day 🙂
