    Yep…actually, this is a product of man’s messing up the natural order of things! We are just now getting water levels down after our floods. I need to get my lawn mower started!

      We have kind of messed things up, haven’t we??? Hope your mower starts without trouble and your grass grows green and lush!

      Exactly! It is supposed to be high 50’s today so that will help! Then it will be all slushy and floody. 🙂

      Yep! All done for another 5 years!!! Of course there was a small glitch but I got it all finished by 8:30 am Friday morning and drove all the way home in the lovely snow. It was 50 + in South Dakota.

    Beautiful pictures to view from here in AZ! You notice I have not said much about the weather. In March, April, and May; the weather is usually picture perfect here, veryspring-like, but come August I start wondering WHY did we ever move to the desert? In August we become “mole people”; we come out only to run to our car to go somewhere else indoors or to a swimming pool or a quick weekend trip over to CA.

    I’ve always wondered if students are much more motivated to study in the northern states. When March or February arrives here, no one wants to be inside. I guess we just have to accept what we have.
    At least you have sons in warmer places, although I guess Micah will be heading to cold country soon.

      My brother in Yuma told me it was in the 90’s so my pics blew him away!!! Crazy weather. I can just see you scurrying in August!!! 🙂 Happy that the boys are in warm places though you are right about Micah. I think he is going to have a HUGE adjustment. Poor guy. 🙂

    My grandma always used to say this is mother nature’s way of paying us back for what we’ve done to her over the years. Seeing your pictures and the flooding and rain we’ve had to deal with here, I tend to agree. Hope it warms up soon!

    If, indeed, man’s irresponsible behavior is the cause of all this I wonder what factors brought about the 100+yr record that was broken by the current weather!?! Just sayin’. Sun’s out and the snow is almost gone….yay! Hugs, D

    Oh My!!!!!! I would say “better you than me”, but I know you are anxious for summer too. Hang in there…it has to be coming soon! We had a few nice days in the 70’s, but now they are saying rain all week. We need it, but I love Mr. Sun!

    Oh my, so much snow you have! Maybe you should consider moving to Cleveland. We had beautiful weather all last week, sunny and 70s. Looks like it will be like that today too! I am so glad!

      It is almost all gone today!!! Just the big plowed piles left. We are going to be warm all week so spring may finally be here. And no—-no plans to move to Cleveland!!! 🙂
