     Oh, to see the lush green of this illustration in real life again!  It has been so long.   Hopefully when spring does come it will be a rapid thaw and the world will transform before our eyes.  By Thursday of this week the temperatures are supposed to rise and on Friday we have a field trip to learn about maple sugar making.  I'm sure no sap will be rising, but it is the thought that counts.
     Everyone's spirits have been sagging because of this long winter, but we've had long winters before.   Somehow, it hasn't been the weather that has brought me down, rather what is happening indoors.  It was good to have a respite on Friday to go to conference, even though the information wasn't new and there were too many business meetings.
     I have new hope and strength to go on, at least for tomorrow...
