Midwest SPRING???

AD -  FREE BLOG


It continues...the constant bluster of a winter that won't quit.

Yesterday, we woke up to sleet. Followed by continued freezing rain all day, with intermittent melt, followed by more ice.

I was trying to catch the huge limb that slid down the 100+ foot elm that is my neighbors. But, the suffering maple buds....frozen in the front caught the camera eye.

The ice got thicker as the day progressed.

Midwest gardening: My Viburnum wearing an icy coat. Daffodils have budded out on the lower left, in the corner where it's sheltered and surrounded with concrete.

This morning---the limb and other refuse, blown over garbage cans, 
still in the yard covered with snow on top of the ice.

Spring---I don't think so. I know there's worse in the rest of the country, my heart goes out to all suffering the continual storms gripping the nation.

But, it sure has been hard to even think spring here in Chicagoland.

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
