Where is Spring, anyway?

 We thought Spring was here when we drove to Tennessee mid-March and flowering trees were in bloom and robins were everywhere.   We came back to Michigan, the snow was mostly gone and daffodils were peeping through the frozen crust of earth.
 Vernal Equinox sounds magical, so I continued my personal tradition of burning the Christmas tree
in the fire pit on the beach.... light mist.... no snow.... hoping for Spring on the official first day.
And this is NOW!  We were hit with a foot of "Spring  Snow" and the deer are back at the bird feeder looking for hand outs.... here they are roaming on the frozen lake.   So, where is Spring, anyway?
