I don't know about anyone else, but the approach of daylight savings has got me positively giddy with anticipation. I look out the window at 6:30 and I can actually read the thermometer on the tree in the yard. It still says chilly, but I can see it and that's what really counts. On my trail ride last weekend there were canada geese all over the place. They're heading north, and that means mud season's approaching for the yankees among us. I loved mud season just because it was when the land came back alive. Down here the flowers are beginning to show their faces. Give me a month and the riot of azaleas will be starting. I love that too. For now you'll just have to settle for the early bloomers.

Oh, and I've had to drive the past couple of days because I needed to be in the woods. For the SUV haters, there's a pic of the result yesterday as well. :)

Nice pictures Woog!

RB used to do a lot of offroading himself. Here's a shot of my last offroader, before I went autoless.

Gotta love Jeep!

I have always loved off-roading... but I have to do it on a bike. :(

And the offroader before the YJ.... a 92 blazer, severly abused!

Sweet S-10! I got one just like it... except my little brother put a few 'custom' sheet metal mods on it after performing a Dukes of Hazard through a T-intersection. They a pretty bomb-proof. Now... it's time to donate. :(

Here in Baltimore, we won't be seeing daffodils for another 3 to 4 weeks (they come out about a week earlier in the city than they do in the suburbs). Although I am ready for winter to be over, I really wasn't dreaming about spring until I saw your pictures. This reminds me of the time I had to go to Atlanta in late February. I left snow covered terrain and arrived in a riot of early spring color. It is amazing what difference a few hundred miles makes.

Thanks for the pictures.

Actually the tulips and daffodils on the south side of my house are already about 2-3inches out of the ground, I found blooming crocuses in my back yard about 10days ago. I was really feeling spring then of course we get two more snow storms...ahh March in Maryland.
Thanks Wooglin for the great pictures.

You candy A$$es have it easy. :D We just got another 8 inches of snow here in NH. We usually don't get into the full swing of spring until some time in April. Today it is 30 degrees with a windchill of around 10.
If we're lucky, it might not dip into the single digits tonight.
I'm dying for the warm weather to hit here. Anything above 35 will be a blessing. I'd kill for the 40's right now.

I'm _from_ NH, born and raised. Where do you think I learned to get trucks stuck and unstuck? ;)

Plus the encouraging info about the geese was for people like you who are still seemingly stuck in the full throes of winter. The end is in sight, you just can't see it yet under all that snow. :)

This morning I was talking to two of my neighbors, here in Boston, and one of them was wishing was 70 degrees. I told him I would settle for 45. He concurred and so did the other neighbor and then he commented on how it was quite sad for we were wishing for 40 degree threshold. I guess you had to be there but it was funny.
