There is a hint of Spring up there at the top of the tree.
Tiny green buds waiting for warm weather.
Three beautiful eggs this morning.
The snow is slow to melt.
The chickens want out!
These two large patches have melted because the pine needles
overhead have dripped melt water on the snow.
I find it interesting that even though the areas are in the shade
they melt before the rest of the snow
and the dripping make a pretty pattern in the dirt.
Too bad the bright reflection of the sun on the snow
doesn't show in the photo.

It's really interesting watching the patterns of snow melt isn't it. Most of ours was eroded from underneath where the earth was still relatively warm, so perhaps there is more biological activity going on under these patches - or are they wetter?
As crazy as our weather has been, I wouldn't say bye for good yet! lol
It is strange that the snow in the sun doesn't melt as quickly.
But you do have some pretty pictures. :-)
We got seven inches of the stuff the other day but now we are supposed to get a few days of high 40's and almost 50's,so, it will melt pretty fast.
Those are some nice sized eggs!
Great photos especially the one with your little doggy in profile
Ah, there is a cute chicken potholder brother to the lovely one you sent me! It sits on my kettle on the stove in the living room and I get a lot of comments about it!
