Spring IS Coming

The calendar indicates that spring IS coming.  I wish someone would let Old Man Winter and Mother Nature know.  We got up to blowing and drifting snow this morning.  While we only had about an inch of snow over night, all the blowing created drifts that were over a foot deep, which meant more shoveling. 

Despite the winter weather still hanging around, I was excited to see

the first robin of the season!

Notice that the snow still surrounds that small patch of grass.  This was taken last Tuesday.  We had heavy rain with hail Tuesday evening that then turned to freezing snow.  Most all the schools were either closed or on late start on Wednesday.  Everything had a thick covering of frozen snow and ice just like the frozen stuff in the freezer when it needs defrosting.  It made cleaning off the car very difficult and was nearly impossible to shovel.

Another sign of spring -- I'm getting pollen alerts again.

Have a great week!
