hope springs eternal
and
as the snow returns once more
i hope for eternal spring
or for even just a month of it.

I count myself in good company with Mr. Twain if he was counting the same number of changes as we are now. Eye rolling is suitable for right here.

I hope it’s a short spring and we jump right into summer. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’re just going to skip over spring and summer all together and that would be bad.

Great post! I hope spring is going to be good this year. Right now in Texas, the weather can’t decide what season to be. It was acting like winter the other day, but now it’s super hot. It started cold this morning, got hot, and now it’s back to being cold.
