Is it Spring now?

After two days of snow and wind, today might really be the first day of Spring. The temperature is around 40 degrees! Most of the snow is already gone. This poem by Robert Frost describes much of our yard...
A Patch of Old Snow
There's a patch of old snow in a corner
I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.
It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten-
If I ever read it.
( Don't pause at the end of each line or it won't make sense. Mom and I made that mistake.)
