Can spring be all that far away?? This is a pretty storm, but I've had enough "pretty" to do me for awhile.
A bird house. I hope the birdies are snuggled warmly inside, or, better yet, still lounging by the pool in Mexico.Here in Maine we measure the severity of a snowstorm by the depth of the snow on the backyard grill. I'm serious.
wow you are getting dumped on. we have a gentle rain today and temps in the 60s-love the desert weather.
ReplyDeleteWe have rain today... that rain that vascilates between a drizzle and a downpour and turns the snow into mud and slime. It's a necessary step towards spring, I know. What I also know is that we'll slog through this gunk for several days... then get another snowstorm or two and have to go through this miserable cycle all over again.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for spring. I really can't wait for spring in your area and some of the others who's posts I read. Spring pictures, comments, attitudes, insights... sigh...
Lin, Your temps in the 60's sound heavenly, honest. I'd settle for 50's at this poing. And Caryn, you're right: We have to go through the drizzle/downpour/mud/slime stages to get to spring. "Slog through" says it all. I can't wait to see the little snowdrops in bloom, then the forsythia and lilacs, then the return of the hummingbirds and orioles. THEN, and only then, will spring be here for sure.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your sentiments regarding the snow. You certainly got much more snow than here. We had about 6 inches. We lost power for 12 hours-it was warmer outside than in! Ayuh, the true measure of a snowfall amount to us Mainers is the outdoor grill! My bluebirds were out and about today!
