Spring is wonderful

i can see grass!! Wow haven't i missed that. Yesterday i ordered seeds for the garden, the first of the chicks (baby chickens/turkeys/ducks) are in, my driveway is back. Oh, and the snow is receeding rapidly.
 
For all of my joy i have discovered this season how much these transitional seasons (Spring and Autumn) affect me. Even as i look forward to walking barefoot across my lawn again, i find that i am sad to see the snow go. Yes, i know that is a sick thought given the severity of this winter. Likewise last Autumn i was sad to see the grass go even as i was thinking about sledding and snow ball fights and cups of cocoa by the picture window as the snow falls. Maybe i am bipolar.
 
With a prospective move in the not too distant future (Lord willing) i am a bit ambiguous about the garden. Why plant if you can't reap. . . Likewise i have seventeen more birds on the way that wont be ready to butcher till at least September. What if i can't take them with me?
Who knows, i guess i wont worry about it now.
