Sightings of Early Spring....???

We're not sure how or why, but New England saw temps above 50 degrees today--marking what many around town believe to be early-onset Spring 2011. Now, having been an East coast family for the better part of our lives, we know all too well that this is Mother Nature's 'tease.' She taunts us with sunshine and melting snow/ice, but soon enough, we'll again be in the grips of another Nor'Easter--at least until late March when most of us start to feel more secure that Spring is, in fact, on its way. So, in the spirit of enjoying what the good Lord gives us when it is given, the royals headed out to enjoy the warm temps and begin yard cleanup!

Prince Aramis trades in his winter gear for lighter clothes and a shovel.

And goes to work on the mountainous snowbanks lining the driveway....

Abby pitches in to take a turn once Aramis tires of the manual labor. Royals aren't supposed to get their hands dirty, are they?? :)

Wow...looks like the perfect cover art for the weekly newspaper...title "The Big Thaw" :)

Love the video! But why is Pie dumping all the snow back onto the driveway? So I can fall on my butt when it refreezes? :)
