It is Spring. Even though it is cold and too rainy I now know that it is Spring. How do I know? I saw the first snake yesterday. While doing a pond study (I use the term study loosely) with second graders, they caught a Garter Snake that was swimming in the pond. This Garter Snake was much more reddish than the usual--I thought maybe because of where it had been napping all winter. It was also much calmer and did not even attempt to bite any of us--I thought it was probably just very cold and did not want to exert itself. It was a wonderful catch, we of course let it go.
