I figured it's about time I changed the snow on this blog.  As much as I like occassional snow, and was hoping for one more snowfall of the season, it's about as likely as me learning to cook anytime soon.  So instead, I opted for "spring flowers".  It's been getting really warm lately, and winter is defitely over. 

For me, signs that spring is here:
- I can no longer keep drinks cold by placing them in my tiled bathroom.
- The lock on the scooter is no longer rigid and hard to unwind.
- I went out last week without a scarf and hat.
- I'm no longer afraid that my down jacket will catch on fire while at school, because it's been too warm to turn on.
- The downtown chestnut vendor is gone (sweet potatoes are still for sale, though).
- I'm already starting to daydream about days on the beach
