It's not a ton....of snow, but people it is AFTER the Vernal Equinox...start of SPRING???
We have yard work to do...the spruce tree that died late last year, that we didn't deal with because of snow (and we just put Christmas lights on it, on the ground. Hubby got it cut up in the midst of rain and snow the last two weeks. Sigh.....

NOW, if you wanted a photo of screen---you wouldn't be able to get one this clear, LOL.
The pond is still frozen...and the fisher gal and guy---are waiting....and waiting... and waiting 
 for Spring.

I use the same setting on my camera for everything---and today it chose to focus on the mist on the window...you can see my planter with the Forsythia...cheering up the porch...HA HA HA!

Snuggled in the Viburnum bush are our sparrows. 
They were not chirping this morning...
We did have a Robin last week, wonder where he is at, now.

I looked for a 'thoughtful' quote,
 and this one just made me laugh! 

No wonder, I'm dragging my heels 
 decorating for SPRING???

  4. I am usually so jealous of those with beautiful snow in their yards--we had almost none this winter--but I don't think I'll be wishing for some this late in the season. I'm welcoming every stage of Spring outside during this time of cocooning at home.

    Stay safe,
    Dewena

  7. I can't handle Snow... hence, I live in the Desert where I don't have to shovel Sunshine. I don't mind looking at it in pixs tho'... I do remember some positive things about the changing of Seasons when we lived in places that had it. *winks*

    1. Ha, we had flurries early this morning...and 27...and several more days of below freezing at night. Grins, yes, the desert has that 'burn your brains' heat though, so I guess we are where we are supposed to be, HUGS and thanks so much for stopping by, Sandi
