I didn’t think I’d be able to say this so soon, but our snow is just about gone. Oh yes, we still have a snow that’s close to a foot deep in the shadier areas of our yard, but clear grassy areas far outweigh the snowy areas now!

I’ve even seen signs of life in the garden. A couple of my crocus’ are bloom, the chives are up and other plants are beginning to emerge. I’m sure when I clear dead foliage and leaves from the garden beds I’ll find a few more surprises.

Now, as for the photo above. I’m not sure if that was a joke photo taken in an area like this with a ton of snow, or if it snowed in an area where it really snows and someone was actually trying to find people gullible enough to buy a few snow balls. I thought it was kind of funny though.
