Orange you glad it's a new year?

The xmas lights have all been taken down, the tree disassembled and stored away, and soon enough, it'll be Carnevale. Supermarket shelves that once held everything christmas-y and bright are now several packages deep full of chiacchiere, frappe, bugie and cenci carnevale treats. Is it just me or is 2012 zipping by really, really fast? In the 10 whole days of vacation inertia and hoping for white stuff to fall out of the sky, we received a light dusting of snow on January 6th. It disappeared as soon as the sun hit high noon. Easter Sunday is in 90 days. Orange you glad that spring is just around the corner?

I'm delighted that every day we get nearer to spring though we've done quite well so far, the snowdrops are almost out.
