After several days on the road, we spent today at home.   I head back to work tomorrow, and there was laundry and housework to catch up on.

It was a grey and dismal day, so dark at noon, that it seemed more like nightfall.

The snow started mid-afternoon,

and the bare ground turned to white, again.

With a bluebird in our maple,  and robins all around, it seems it should be spring.

Any day now, Jan, all that white stuff will be history. February’s the hardest month of all, if you ask me. Today my peach tree bloomed and the willow is starting to leaf out. Trust me, it’ll reach your yard, too! Hang in there!

We had five days of sunshine in a row in the past week and now two days of dullness. I try to “store” those sunny days in my mind to get through the seeming endlessness of winter. A Bluebird in your tree! That would make my day.

Becky Says:

The same here Jan. I’m beginning to get depressed, and I know we have a few weeks to go. Still it would even be helpful if we could at least see the sap buckets hanging from the trees.
It’s been snowing up a real blizzard all day. By 5Pm we got 9″ of snow, and maybe that much more by this time tomorrow.
Oh well, we’re all in this together.
Have a happy Friday.
B.
