Spring is finally here!

Spring's arrival is subtle here in AK. We don't have any buds on the trees or flowers blooming. I get excited when a patch of gravel appears in the driveway. Alex picked up on that excitement and has been trying to ride his bike everyday this past week.
He zooms along on the exposed gravel and then jumps off and wades through the 4 inches of slush. Saturday morning I was helping him make some adjustments on his bike and told him he might not be able to ride for long as it looked like it was starting to rain. He said, "That's not rain. It's snow." Yep, spring in AK.
