Spring?

It was 8 degrees yesterday morning and 10 degrees is the wonderful temp awaiting my outside arrival in a few minutes. Is this really spring in IL? It's been nearly 1 yr. since we've been "back". Last year at this time, according to my husband who remembers this stuff, it was 80 degrees and the farmers were planting. Yikes! So much has happened the past year - too much to recount. Suffice it to say that God is Good!
