After last week's too-short glimpse of spring, winter has come back with a vengeance. Brisk, cold winds, blizzards, ice fishermen back out on the frozen lake, and bundling up again. The good news is that the snow is fresh and packable (read: snowmen!).

Here are some photos of spring on my parents farm, to help with the chill of winter.

Early harvest

Our dog in a small pond in the field, chasing tadpoles

A garter snake, seeking warmth as well

Rhubarb - spring is here!!

More fruit blossoms

The dandelion's golden mane

With a glimpse of color and warmth, we can hold on just a little bit longer, and enjoy winter - and the promise of spring.
