Spring snow

I got up this morning, looked out the window, and felt the urge to start singing Christmas carols!
6 inches of heavy, wet snow blanketed the yard.
The brilliant, red breast of this Robin was the only touch of color I saw in the cold, grey day.
I didn't feel as sorry for the Winter birds- Juncos, and chickadees. They are used to fending for themselves in the snow.
but I imagine the Spring birds felt a bit betrayed (and little did they know, we were to get another two inches the following day!)
You've got to admire their pluck! and I'm so grateful to see them. They are harbingers of Spring! and a very welcome sight.
