Spring, Is That You?

Shall I dare to dream?
7 to 10 predicted-
Not one snowflake fell
****
Hooray and Yippee
Maybe Spring really is here
Crossing my fingers
****
The signs are all here
Melting snow piles and blue skies
A morning dove, too
****
Can't wait to go out
The boys dressed in spring jackets
No mittens or scarves
****
Happiness awaits
With promise of warm weather
I'll share it with you.

    Oh, I'm so feeling your haiku. Hooray for melting snow, no mittens and no scarves! Just think, in a few more weeks maybe no jacket will be required at all *sigh*. I can hardly wait :) Hope you have a lovely Friday!

    My husband always wonders why Spring is my favorite season. I have to go on and on about flowers and birdies and bunnies, etc, etc. Here's hoping things turn green at your place very soon!

    We had some really beautiful spring days. Last Saturday, in fact, was in the 60's and sunny and beautiful. It almost never snows here at all. Well, except for right bloody now. Yes, snowing. I love your haiku, and I'm totally on board with the spring thoughts!

    Oh sure, just rub it in. *laughs* All of our snow had melted, and then we got a couple of inches dumped on us last night. When is it going to actually feel like spring?!? lol

    Our (autumn) weather has been a roller-coaster ride.

    Last Thursday was 40 degrees (Celsius - so it's 100+ Fahrenheit) and this Thursday it was 11 degrees with snow on Mt Baw Baw!!)
