You may think we are proceeding slowly into Spring, based on this image from one of our garden spots. Not so fast. According to my log, we had an eight-inch snow storm on April 8 last year! This year so far, I have raked a ton of leaves from the side yard, front yard, and back yard. Today, it is above 70F! This is another example how last year was a really, really crappy year. Oh yeah, this year we have toilet paper. Go figure.

Not only daffodils but some crocuses have also popped up (not shown). I saw a robin yesterday; they are not prevalent, probably because our grounds are quite dry. Rain has been sporadic, so moisture-loving creatures, such as earth worms, are few and far between.
