Happy Earth Day!

We came home to flowering trees, and it's gorgeous!  I need to get outside more, and get my vegetable garden ready to plant ... not to mention all the pruning that needs done after last week's heavy snow.  It feels like we jumped right over spring - last week it was snowing, this week we're barefoot, and AngelBaby asked when we can run through the sprinklers... sounds suspiciously like summer already!

There is beauty around:

Spring Break

So much for a warm Spring Break!

The storm that hit our house two days ago has now travelled states, and attacked my mom's house too.  My husband's flight from last night was cancelled, so he will hopefully fly in today.

There's No Place Like ... Home?

We're visiting family out of state for spring break, while back at home, my poor husband is FREEZING!  

He sent me this picture from 9am:

That's our front yard.  Those are TALL trees that stand up straight, now transformed into pitiful snowy willow-looking trees, frozen to the ground.  I'm shocked they are still standing.  It's supposed to snow again today and tomorrow ... I don't know if our trees can make it.

Our neighbors around the corner ended up with a very damaged trailer, and a very sad tree:

Oh Spring!  Why did you leave us?
