They said last night when I went to bed we’d have 1-3 inches of snow by morning. Wrong, again. This storm turned out to be a nice spring snow of at least 7-8 inches, loaded with moisture. Gardeners will will love this snowfall, as will wildflowers in the meadows and weeds in people’s front yards. It’s actually quite pretty. The city snow plows have been out clearing the slush off the roads but if there is no reason to be out, stay home. It’s more of a day to curl up in a favorite chair, wrapped in a blanket and read a book. Or, if the child in you wants it’s also a good chance to go play in the white stuff. Maybe make a snowman, it’s perfect snow for that. It’s also one of those days to warm up a bowl of soup for lunch. Now that I think about it, didn’t we just have that first day of spring about a week ago?

Peek-a-boo Spring. It’s everywhere. 😎

You made me laugh, my friend! Hope you had a good day.

We’ve had a roller coaster spring here too, albeit 30 degrees or so higher than Fort Collins! Every time I think about cleaning off the patio and porch furniture we get another cold snap or rainy day. But I don’t have to shovel it!

It was a brisk 8 degrees this morning at about 6:04 am. However, we did reach 40 degrees, almost a heatwave. One of the perks living in my condo is I do not have to shovel snow or mow grass.

I am kinda used to the tug-of-war between seasons during March, even into April. I can see one is getting the better of the other right now out where you are!

I like that thought of a tug-of-war. We are in the midst of it now. Weather app says 60’s over the weekend then snow possible on Tuesday.
