Not Sprung yet

It was a beautiful warm day today and I went for the first walk in the park in a long time. It felt a lot like Spring, but even if I hadn't heard the weather report and known that more cold weather was on the way I'd have known it wasn't quite that time of year yet. Some people look for flowers or birds as harbingers of that season I've looked forward to all winter long, but to me the first sign of Spring is the initial sighting of one of the Italian Ice Girls and there were none to be found.
