Signs of Spring

In Romania the coming of spring is celebrated on March 1st. Spring is marked by the changing of months on the calendar and not necessarily by the weather outside. Being from a much milder climate, it's been hard for me to get excited about spring with so much snow in the ground, but I am getting there. Here is a scene from the first day of spring in my town; city crews hard at work removing snow from the street.

Over the weekend I took the train up the valley to have lunch with some fellow volunteers. The train ride was gorgeous. Here are a few snaps from the ride.
