Ta-Da! Spring is Here!

Some say Spring started March 1st – Others say is starts with the Spring Equinox, which was today a little after 1 pm.  Whichever way you think — SPRING IS HERE!  Blizzards are a thing of the past; though I do realize there is a slight possibility that cold weather will return and we’ve even had an Easter Snow once or twice.  But the past several days, temps have been in the 60’s & 70’s with bright sun. 
 
It looks like we have some work to do in the yard.  This winter was rough on the plants.  See our poor Pompas Grass —
 

It almost looks like a bale of hay that is falling apart!

But other parts of the yard are showing signs of Spring.

Mini Daffodils –

The Camellia Bush was crushed by the snow – between blizzards, while working on the gutters, M did gently move the snow off and then packed the snow around the outside of the bush so that the Part #2 of the Blizzard did not do any more damage.  It has lots of buds bursting to bloom!

Happy Spring to Everyone!!

Count-Down

Woke up this morning with a light dusting of snow covering the cars and the ramp.  There was no accumulation on the sidewalks & road.  Thankfully the wind has quit blowing so hard and the sun was bright most of the day.
 
And the Count-Down Begins:
2 Weeks to Daylight-Savings Time (Sat/Sun March 13-14th)
3 Weeks to SPRING! (Sat, March 20th)

2010 Bizzard – Part 2 – The BIG Digout

 Bright Sun – Temp on Deck is 38 degrees at 1:30 PM – K went out and uncovered her car, my car, M’s car, and 3 neighbors’ cars.  With the sun it didn’t take long to clean off the cars.
 
While clearing the cars she saw a plow go on the cross street/intersection, but never came up this way.  You see tire tracks so some cars have gone up the street.  WHEEEE! Plow just came down our road!!!!
 

KC runs through the snow paths that the larger dogs have made.  Snow Drifts more than halfway up the 6-foot fence. K has been re-digging out her car after the plow came by – lots of people out digging, and digging and digging!
