Snow - So Pretty!
It is so pretty outside today, snowing like crazy, it is so nice to see, finally. Here in Canada, everyone is usually so sick of snow by this time of year, that they pray for spring, but this year they pray for snow. All we've seen is rain and more rain, since the last snow storm just before Christmas, when the snow melted in a day or two, to be replaced by rain.
We've had so much rain, the grass is starting to grow, and my roses starting to bud. The grass almost needs mowing, but that would really kill it, because in this climate it is inevitable that it will get cold again. I am hoping the grass and plants survive this early growth when spring finally arrives. If I have to live with winter, and cold miserable weather, then I want to see snow.
I remember a year when we had snow all winter, it didn't melt until spring. The kids had so much fun that year, what can they do when all we have is cold and rain. I miss the snow this year, rain doesn't do anything for me at all, except make my joints ache. The rain can come back in the spring, to help the plants and trees grow with outside temperatures around 75° F (~22° C), much better than just above freezing.
Ahhh snow......
