Longing for Spring

When will this cold weather go away? Seems like it just keeps hanging on. Today around midday it was so sunny and pretty, but when you stepped outside the wind just cut through you. I'm definitely ready for spring. I even have the urge to plant some flowers this year. We tore out our old white rock that was on either side of our front porch so I need to fill that in with something. Something that is low maintenance! I don't have much of a green thumb so it will have to be something hardy. We do at least have some of the garden in--onions, radishes, and potatoes. It just seems like this winter has been unusually long and depressing, maybe it was the two ice storms we had? All I know is that spring can't get here soon enough for me!
