White on White

The big snow of Leap Day 2012 hit us big time!

White on white and more to come over the weekend. 

Now that's what I call living up north! 

I was thinking of gardening 

but not today! 

I'm sure the birds appreciate

 the seeds set out for them. 

Once again the trees are bowing 

to Old Man Winter! 

It's snowing! It's SNOWING!

Green Gate Garden put to rest

or as Thom likes to call it -

 his cemetary for people that pissed him off!

Just kidding!!!

Nasty Reminder

Here's a nasty reminder

of what spring can bring

in my corner of the world.

I just want winter to end  

Enough already!

Snow is once again

in our forcast!

Not happy!

This is Spring?

First Day of Spring 2011

This is Spring?

It's 'slushing' out!

a mix of snow and rain

heavy, wet

yuckiness!

Yes folks, yuckiness is a word!  Especially in our neck of the woods where it 'slushes' out on the first day of Spring.  As my sister Mel over at UpNorthwithMel says we were at the stage of snirt! But now we are covered with snow again.  I want to see some green.  You have no idea how bad I want to see green ... I was so desperate that I even tried the casino this past weekend, and they let me down ... no green their either!!  The only green is what I left there ~ but it wasn't a wasted weekend.  We spent some time  sitting in the hot tub, sauna and swimming with  four of our grand-loves.  A lot of laughs and hugs were shared. 

But then we had a white 'slushy' drive home.  Who'd a thought this was the first day of spring?  How did you welcome spring?
