Signs of spring

For some it’s the crocus. For others it’s a couple of weeks of warm weather, but for me it’s falling snow fences. Every fall, many people unroll their wooden snow fences to break the winter wind and keep the snow from drifting on a walkway, driveway, or perhaps against their house or barn.

No matter how many thousands of dollars people spend landscaping and manicuring their properties throughout the year, they have one thing in common with everyone else, the ubiquitous red slatted snow fence randomly stretched across their property in hope of showing God where they want the snow piled instead of where He wants it piled. But as winter wears on, the snow falls, the wind blows and the fences finally fall over.

The way I look at it, once the snow fence gets tired of winter, it falls down and winter is really over.
