Ransom Paid—Mailbox Freed

First off, a big hello to our friends in Bulgaria. Last week when I posted about other uses for Bulgarian Grocery Bags, my sister-in-law, who gave me the bag, sent the link to her friends in that country. They came to visit and we're glad to have them join us as spring comes to Vermont.

Finally.

Four days ago, see picture below, you could barely see the top of our mailbox. But give us a couple of days with a warm breeze and the sun just beaming at us and look what happens.

And as an extra-added bonus, we were joined on this last full day of winter 2011 by a chorus of redwing blackbirds, right on schedule.

Yep, no turning back now. Oh we may get some more snow but the jig is up. We know it's all going to melt.

Ha! Take that winter!

This was the snow situation just four days ago. Supposedly, ten inches of
snow equal an inch of rain.
By my calculations, that means we still have 2 to 3 inches of rain left in this snowbank.
