At 2:53 last Tuesday, I became Officially Ready For Spring. I held out longer than I thought I would. Despite having snowbanks that reach the birdfeeders again, this year the snowfall has come in clumps rather than snowing every day. It also seems to fall mostly after sundown, which sort of makes us like Camelot. You know, if the knights all rode around in plowtrucks and such.So this is the back yard. See the mini-hoop? No? Me either. I know I need to strap on the old snowshoes and go clear it off but it's hard to get the motivation when I know I've still got at least a month before I can even get into the thing.
Oh Spring! Where art thou?

Wow. You may have more snow than we do! And yes, where or where is Spring?!
By the way...what signaled officially being ready for spring at 2:53 on Tuesday?
Hey Deborah,
I was driving around with the Husband last Tuesday and as I looked out the window, I was hit with that feeling you get when winter has stayed just one second too long. Since the clock was there, we made note of the time.
Aren't you out in the land of lake effect snow? And we have more than you? Oh, how depressing.
:(
Well, I do live on a sizeable lake in north central Minnesota, but it's not big enough to have a lake effect such as Lake Superior or Lake Michigan would have. Plus, weather mostly blows our way from across the Dakota prairies. We have had tons more snow this year than we've had for years! But we've also had a couple of serious melts. So..it looks like you have more at the moment :)
I certainly recognize that feeling!
