Thursday in the Fifth Week of Lent -- Part 2

Today's sunshine and warmer temperatures continued to work their melting magic on the near-glacial piles of snow that have covered the ground for most of the past several months. Some patches of moisture-soaked, muddy ground lie exposed here and there. The gurgle of streams of melted snow sing the song of a hoped-for spring as they flow into the web of storm drains. Water hisses from the tires of passing vehicles. And while I know the possibility for yet another snowstorm remains, for today at least, spring was in the air...and it was VERY GOOD!
