The Wrestling match of Winter

This is a literal wrestling match. A new sport for our family...normally our eldest has played basketball, so we have been learning the rules of this very intensive sport. I know he is the one wrestling...but I too usually feel exhausted after his matches as I am involuntarily trying to help him with my muscles from the stands. He has learned so much and grown alot in this sport. We are very proud of him for his determination in changing direction and sticking with it with perseverance and a great attitude. He was able to wrestle in his first JV tournament this weekend and took 2nd place for his weight class. Way to go Bud! So, the next two pics are of a different type of wrestling match in our area. This is the one between winter and spring. Where ever you live this may not be the case...but here in our fair city...it seems like winter shows itself in one breath...

and then in the next...frosty has melted to a pathetic size and we see signs of spring. I'm thankful that the grass is always greener on the other side...as it gets closer to spring that is...I say bring it on!
