Spring's arrival...?

it was warm today (kind of..)! and so was yesterday.... the snow is melting away quickly and you can now see yellowish grass and (sometimes) a lot of garbage underneath... its kind of ugly, currently. the snow thats still there turned black.
we were at the frog pond at the boston common this morning. in summer it looks like this, and in winter as above. over the weeks i have taken pictures whenever i was there, but i was never satisfied. today they had just polished the ice (is that how you call it?), so the reflections were marvellous, but so hard to catch with my camera... :( there was quite a layer of water on the ice too, one little boy fell and was wet entirely...
it was nice to smell a hint of spring. hmmm, actually now i cant wait for the days when the pool is open and the nearby ice cream shop and we can goto the beach again and....

Huh? I see double, two posts. Nice picture, so the Americans do skate too. It is nice they transforme the pool in a skating area. I think spring is really trying to come here too.

I think cat was having some uploading issues... at least the skating rink is a little more sanitary than the pool in summertime (knee-deep, filled with infants)

yes, something weird happened, but now i removed one of the posts!
indeed, exactly, spring is trying to come! it was very mild and pleasant this morning, but only a few hours later the wind was roaring like crazy and it was rather cold again!
