first day of spring

Today was an unusual first day of spring. A battle between Spring and Winter ensued as snow fell to the ground - and then the sun shone through - and then snow and sleet came again - yet the ground did not accept it and made the snow melt. It was fascinating to watch this afternoon as a day that is supposed to be springlike was full of snow. It has stopped now - but I am thankful for the amusement that weather can bring on these busy days of March.
