That huge accumulation of snow in the yard is almost entirely melted, and underneath it all I found this little guy-- our rhubarb plant, starting to poke its head out.
I've lived here long enough to know that an early March thaw is always nice, but it's also almost always a tease. I expect one more snowstorm before the patio furniture comes out...
The great thing about this is that now I know Spring and strawberry-rhubarb pie isn't too far off!
