Ginny lays her first egg on the first day of Spring

 
yesterday we had some snow
 
not much accumulated
just enough to cover the driveway again
 
and enough to recover the paths
that the birds had been enjoying
the dirt and mud in
 
 
 
today even though
it does say
"First Day Of Spring"
on our calendar today..
 the weather has
other ideas
 
it's been dull/gray all day
with snow squalls
on and off
 throughout the day
 
 
 
doesn't look very "springy" out there,
does it?
 
 
even when the snow stopped
it was dark and dreary
 
but
the best moment of the day
happened when..
.
Tyler and I were outside,
at the exact time,
that we watched
Ginny
 lay her first egg!
