the river ice is dropping

Now that doesn't mean spring is coming. It probably just means there is so little water under the ice that the ice just collapses and falls in the water below.
In my last post i also didn't mean that  i am anxious for spring to come. I just meant that sometimes we do not see any signs of things to come yet we know. In Nature that is obvious, but i often see that truth in other aspects of life too.

I know that beside taking positive action, a positive outlook does have an effect and how i experience things.
