I didn't believe my son this morning when he told me it was snowing! And then it snowed ALL morning! Who would have guessed?

I spent all Tuesday with a fever and a throat thing. I was really bummed not to be able to go to class, especially in the middle of a painting. I am feeling better now.

We woke up with frost yesterday morning and it hailed earlier today too. Winter isn't quite ready to give up her fight - and I saw some very early buds on a local willow tree today.

I argued with myself about leaving a comment on the original post (and couldn't remember the outcome, so I just went back to check).

Seems politeness won that day, because I really wanted to leave a comment saying "Don't get too excited, it ain't over yet!" But in the end said nothing.

I did that, because I didn't want to be blamed for what I knew was coming....this post!

Big snowstorm expected here in WI both Saturday and Sunday.

Much as I love you Pamela, you know I won't be able to comment about your early spring being interrupted without sounding snarky...so, uh, I'd just better be, uh, going...before I type something I later regret..

You know they're predicting a BLIZZARD for us tomorrow here on the prairies...

the weather has been weird all over this year, so this is no surprise lol..

I remember weather just like that one time when I was in Denver for a convention in March. I brought all "winter clothes"..the whole weekend it was in the low 70's! I woke Monday morning (flight home day) to a snow storm! It even grounded the plane for a number of hours! Go figure huh?!

isn't it beautiful? I hope it melts away soon so it can still be thought of as beautiful and not a pain in the toosh.

my post yesterday happened to be about spring but the weather is a bit of a lottery- hit and miss so we got spring weather in the morning and cold and rain by evening.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
