Yearning for Flowers

I am not sure how far away spring is but I can tell you that winter already seems far to long. I live in Utah and we get a little snow everyday. Most days the snow is not staying on the ground, but we still have many gray and overcast days. Yesterday, Liberty, Utah got 34 inches of snow. Ogden, Utah, which is about an hour from where I live, got 14 inches. We had a bit but the sun came out long enough to melt off the new snow. I am yearning to see the flowers again. I was annoyed with the bees on the lavender last summer and now I wouldn't mind them at all. Thanks for your comments they help brighten these days. Deb
