My Hopes Dashed!

Well...with 12 inches of new snow on the ground...my hopes for an early Spring are dashed!!!!  Is this a really bad joke or what?  Robins and other spring birds chirping while I'm shoveling snow is very strange. I did find a 'new' shoveling device though. My plastic muck fork [for the horse barn] works better than any real shovel I own.  Well, that's the only bright spot in this new snow scenario. One more bright spot...I received my 40/2 weaving linen in yesterdays mail.
