Snow on patio table - six inches.

Got to love this spring snowstorm barreling right through spring break.  I can’t remember a blast like this one — with each storm a new tale to tell.   This one will remind me of how both my husband and I raced for the snow shovels to clear the sidewalk – BC – before coffee.  I think we have reached that age where we worry that people will sue us if they fall on our sidewalk.  We have arrived — we are officially our parents.

Anyway, this storm was more fun – partly because we knew the snow wouldn’t stick around for long and partly because there was no anxiety about snow days etc.   Hope you are enjoying this beautiful blanket of white.  I am looking forward to the green and buds that come next.  It won’t be long before we are out in our front yard tending to what we call our “non-judgmental” garden (named this so that we could do whatever we want with this space where nothing seems to want to grow) and in the backyard where we are going to attempt a vegetable garden.  If you have any pointers about what a novice gardener should try first — I’m all ears like a jackass.

So enjoy the moisture that will give your yard a boost.  And post a comment if you have gardener’s guidance or tips.

six inches in our backyard - woo hoo!
