Snowy Sunday

Here is the view from my front window. A March snowstorm and hopefully the last gasp of winter. Right now, the snow is coming down sideways thanks to a 30 MPH wind. Whew.

I have lots to do here in the house and don’t have to be anywhere till Thursday, so it’s all okay.

Yesterday, we had mixed precipitation including rain, hail, graupel, ice, and a tiny bit of snow. Not to mention the snow already on the ground.

The cloud in the photo brought us a cold front.

This morning, we have sun but the yard is soggy with about 5 inches of standing water.  Maybe the sun and wind will dry things out, allowing us to prune trees before leaving February behind.

Five years ago, I planted 13 trees not far from the house. Nine are visible in the photo, all getting ready to leaf out. Suckers and lower branches need to be removed before spring. But first, I have to NOT sink to my ankles in the swamp that my yard’s become.

The weather’s kept us locked-in every day last week until, finally, we got out yesterday. A quick run to the grocery stores and home.

Today, the snow is back accompanied by freezing fog. From my window, I see the green tips of what must be crocuses. With a promise of higher temps and rain next week, will the daffodils poke their heads?

Maybe we’ll venture back to the vegetable gardens and see if the garlic is stirring.
