Sometimes we find them mixed in with winter aconite. Always a special delight

I’ll tell you what… February is going out with a vengeance over here… I just went to visit my daughter in the hospital and had to drive through slush and visibility-nil to and fro. I need a nap.

Well, yesterday, February wanted us to remember it by dumping a good 8-10 inches – the ones called for last week that never came…
March is very untrustworthy

So true. There are so many areas that used to get decent amounts of snow and no longer do. Even here, much as I have been complaining, it’s nothing compared to way back when!
