Spring Yet?

Yes, maybe, no, no wait, yes, ok more snow, sunshine, sort of springy, no wait... sleet. And more snow.

Last year we had an unusually early warm spring. Some days were even hot. When it snowed quite heavily last Monday, I said, oh big deal, it will melt quickly. It took three days to disappear in that slow, nearly indiscernible way that snow has of going away. One day you just notice that the snow is gone. Then the spring warmth comes. Or at least, spring warmth in the Minnesota sense. It's been in the upper 50's to low 60's for several days now.
Snow in today's forecast. It has just begun to sleet. And Mama Bear goes back into the cave.

Deep down inside I WANT to feel sorry for you... but I just can't! I know without a doubt that you'll be sunbathing while we still have a lawn covered in a foot of snow! :)

Love you,
~Leah~

You've forgotten about your blog! You should update with pictures of your flowers and landscaping returning. :)

We've FINALLY started to see spring. Although it never got over 45* yesterday and is only 40* right now, the leaves are starting to show up and the grass is growing.

Love and miss you,
~Leah
