SPRING
Enjoy! |

| So exciting and we're getting a mix of snow and rain. Wed we might be in for something serious but by May my tulips might be pushing out of the ground. Seems to take so long up here for things to start blooming and then we get into hot and humid. |
| The bleeding hearts are nosing up out of the ground just outside of Boston! |
| My daffodils are about 4" out of the ground. I saw several robins the other day! And I am smelling skunks again around my house...that is a sure sign spring is here. peg |
I was beginning to think that St. Louis was never going to get Spring. I came down to help family. There was a tornado the day before I came andsince then the weather has been nuts. Below freezing and above 80 back and forth in the last few weeks.  |
 Go ahead people...Rub It In (Goes grumbling out to shovel snow) |
Now now Laurel you know how I hate anything above 75.  It makes me cranky. I forgot to mention that the trees are trying to kill me with pollin.  I want to be back in AK when the snow melts and the air is full of dust.  |
| WOOHOO, I like something about all seasons and love snow...but since I've had to retire early, I absolutely hate Feb/March and so look forward to be able to get out side. Terminal cabin fever. We saw our 1st Robin last week and the daffodil's are up & blooming, but we have seen some of our biggest blizzards this time of year. I am cautiously optimistic. |
| Syracuse was in the low 60s on Thursday & Friday. Little chilly on Saturday but sunny. 47 today & sunny. We'll be sliding back into the low 30s by the end of next week. |
| Mid 40's here this weekend, with rain/drizzle and fog today. Good news is, our snow is melting....like over half melted now! The ground below 1-2 inches is still frozen rock hard, but it's starting  No flowers, buds here at all...but we have robins, geese, swans and blue herons back  |

Yeah, Todd just informed me it's supposed to snow here on Wednesday...yippee  |
| Yesterday was a great first day of spring here in the Interior of BC. Bright sunshine, no wind. I took Willoughby for a long walk in the conservation and it was beautiful. This gave me enough energy to rake the front lawn! However... today we had snow  which thank goodness is now melting. Nothing showing much sign of life yet: the back garden is still frozen although the snow is (was) gone! Unless something happens to the angle of our rotation around the sun, we should soon be out of winter!  |
Snow all morning, took a lunch break, and now it's snowing again.... |
| Still have snow on the ground here... not a lot though after rain all week but it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. I don't mind really, it delays mud season. All our geese have been coming back in huge flocks the last few days so the warm weather won't be far behind. Lots of chickadees and the occasional robin too, usuall all we see in winter is the odd cardinal. I'm dying for a nice sunny day that I'm actually off work to go for a walk in the conservation area  |

I want to be back in AK when the snow melts and the air is full of dust. That's so my problem.. the anything above the temps we're approaching. For me, it starts to get uncomfortable past 80, and I start planning things only in the morning. With that said, as much as a grump I am about hot weather... it is very nice to see flowers and green grass everywhere Small smiles for the many miserable frowns ahead  Saturday my kids were in one of those $10 kiddie pools in the backyard! That's too hot for me.  |

They are eating the thousands of little minnows in the lake's outflow drainage ditch. (a bunch of lakes are connected, including the 3 small ones around us). There must be enough, because they have yet to come up in the yard to our 2 yard ponds...thank goodness! |

They wander among the little lakes all the time. It was nice to see them again. They are the herons who ran after a little boy in the neighborhood we used to live in. I think they thought he may have bread for them....they do like their bread. The little boy made it home safe and sound....I felt like I was living through a Jurassic Park movie. |
| 50 degrees on Saturday and we did a little cleaning of the flower beds to reveal a few crocus popping up.........5 inches of SNOW today. Bella is happy the snow is back though. |
| Nothing popping up here yet but we are now blessed with 7-10" of snow, they usually don't report on the area I live in so we're never sure. Lot's of blowing and drifting too. Wouldn't be so bad if the temps were going up but will be below freezing for the next wk. |
| We may have 6 inches on the ground here in Syracuse by morning. |
| Luckily mostly big rain here, only transitioned to snow in the wee hours of the morning. But, no temps above freezing again until next TUESDAY.....  Guess it was just a short teaser of spring to come in the great white north |
