Quotes that hit the nail on the head:

"February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March"
                 Dr. J.R. Stockton

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant"
                 Anne Bradstreet




Sitting here looking at the frozen river and wishing/hoping/praying for the channel to open up.
A true sign of spring!

I will try to remember to post a picture when that happens.
