Signs of spring?

I took this picture this a.m. from my back door. No, I didn't have the camera set to greyscale; the black & white & grey all over color scheme is complements of Mother Nature. Ugh. Global warming is seriously letting me down.

I will say, tho', that I'm getting much more use out of my mitts than I expected. Warm & wooly, and a much needed bit of color on a day like today.

OK, I'm done kvetching. Gotta go shovel the driveway.
