More Like Fall Back

Spring Ahead?


Last weekend, I took all the winter decorations down.

This weekend, I started putting up the spring decorations.









This morning, we awoke to this--what the local forecasters said was a possibility of 1-3 inches of snow starting in the wee hours of Sunday morning continuing through Sunday night. Mid-day we already had 4-6 inches, with 6-8 inches now predicted. Winds are strong. At times, we can't see across the street. White out!




Inconvenience and spring fever aside, our area has been in an officially classified "extreme drought" for the past 12 to 15 months. We desperately need the moisture. And, good news is, this time of year, the melt will come quickly (I hope).

On this first day of 2013 Daylight Saving Time, our landscape may look more like we should have fallen back. Instead, we'll get to enjoy from the warmth of home gazing at the beauty of a late snowfall an hour longer into the evening.

Make it a great day!

  5. Ann, we missed that last big blast of snow but more flurries today. We need snow too not for drought but for lower than normal lakes levels on the Great Lakes. Still longing for that warm weather! Thanks for stopping by, Laura
