Honestly, it isn't much different from the picture I took the other day. It has receeded a few inches back from the sidewalk and driveway. Believe it or not, we still have snow on the front of our roof!

We've had lots of robins lately. It's always nice to see them out looking for their breakfasts.

Dead skunk in the road as a sign of spring? LOL, I thought you were being facetious but guess what--this morning I saw one! So I guess spring must be here.

I know it's spring when my pets start shedding. When there's a half pound of fur on the sofa, then I know spring is here!

I hear a woodpecker a few yards over. Hopefully all the dead tree branchs that came down in the blizzard will keep Mr. Woodpecker too busy to thinking about pecking on my siding.

Here's a sign of spring. Someone siphoning gas from their snowblower to put it into their lawn mower.

Hey, want to know how you can spot a tourist? Locals might wear a Cherry Blossom Festival shirt, but tourists get the matching cap and bag. (And if they're from my old town cherry pink socks, too! )

tgbwc, how are your snow piles doing? You've got to let us know if this rain finally melts them away.

Per your request, I took this picture a few minutes ago. It is much better now.
