Last night could have been the coldest night left to the waning winter: supposedly the temperature hit zero last night. I keep checking the ten day forecast and there seems to be a warming trend–temperatures in the thirties and forties. Not warm by any means but winter has only three weeks to go officially. In one day and one week the clock gets put an hour later and all of a sudden it will be light till seven o’clock. The warm weather is on its way. This winter seemed to last forever. There is an end in sight to the colder temperatures.

It was six-twenty PM and still light.  This Sunday is daylight saving time and the clock gets moved forward an hour so it will be lighter longer.  There is no more the gloom of winter time when it got dark much earlier.  We are even having days in the fifties.  Everything will start to turn green.  Soon the daffodils will bloom as well as the tulips and crocuses.  Again for the second straight year the winter did not kill the primrose.  We had no extended freezes.  Now spring officially is less than two weeks away.
