first day of spring

Three haiku written today. This year, the first day of spring coincides with Passion Sunday, aka Palm Sunday, in Catholic and Protestant churches. Other than being written on the same day, the three haiku have no relation to one another, although it occurs to me that #2 and #3 might be read as the second and third acts of a little drama, of which act one can be found at the post "looking for spring."

palm branches
waving hello

growing fond of it
last mound of snow
shrinking into spring
3
first day of spring
chill rain
snow almost gone

You know, by the time that particular mound had disappeared, I was almost thinking of it as a pet.
