Someone warned me that March is Minnesota's snowiest month.
Good thing I had warning because we have had a whole lot of snow in the last two
weeks.
It's hard to believe that my sister, Mhana, is cutting flowers from her
garden in Oregon while we are shoveling six inches of snow. It's like we live in two different worlds.
Here's my driveway after the first time we shoveled snow this morning. It was so wet and heavy. I am grateful that Spiff got out first and did half of the driveway before leaving for work. Then my next door neighbor (who is generally not so nice) surprised me by snowblowing out our sidewalk and the end of the driveway for me. Maybe he's nicer than I thought. But that all meant that it took me 45 minutes to shovel this morning, instead of two hours.
Now I get to go out and shovel the latest two inches that fell since the morning.
I swear that our driveway gets bigger every time it snows.

Umm yeah. It was probably 65 degrees this weekend, we worked in the yard. The daffs are going strong, as are the hycinths and the tulips are on the way. And I sleep with the window open -- granted I like it a bit on the chilly side, but still. Spring has sprung, thank heavens.
Lest you think that is the norm, I live 5 miles from Mhana and there are no blooms in my yard. On the other hand, my indoor plants,the cyclamen, Christmas cactus and amaryllis are all cheering my windowsills.
