Green conquers white again, but only for the time being. The snow has melted away, but January does not signal the end of Connecticut’s winter.

As much as I enjoy winter the spring jungle makes me smile as well. So many stories lie in those woods. They have nested under rocks, in ponds or next to deer. They can’t be caught by bear traps and even the motocross riders can’t catch them.

A dusting came today though, fast and hard. Snow falling like hail, but without the temperature to create a home. By 3 pm the melting process had begun. It would seem that spring woke up in the middle of the night and decided to watch some afternoon TV. Winter may want to paint a picture but it will be tough getting spring out of their chair. This safari like scene puts up a fight as winter tries to claim its respective months.
