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.
