Winter Isn't Going Down Without A Fight

While it hasn't been exactly balmy, the signs of spring are everywhere and leaves are starting to appear on bushes, trees, and our rosebush by the front door. However, there is still the potential for interesting weather, and in the early hours of the morning this "winter" storm hit the Front Range. Fortunately it is barely freezing, and this snow is quite soggy, so it isn't sticking on the pavement. My guess is that most of it will be gone tomorrow. In a way, the snow is better than rain since it gives the moisture a chance to soak in instead of running off, so its better for the plants and nearby streams. It was a perfect excuse to work from home though, so I did!

The deck patio table; how else would we be able to know exactly how deep the snow is?


Nothing sticking on the driveway, sidewalks and streets = happy


Its not popcorn popping on the apricot tree, but "Spring" had brough us such a nice surprise...

Funny how you like the moisture to soak in instead of run off. In California, we want just the opposite!

There's snow in our forecast for Sunday or Monday, at least Bostonians aren't alone in the forever winter. Hey, I think Bryson deserves a shout out on the blog and you cna take off Melissa's due date off the sidebar. :)

Today was 75 degrees in Provo!
So nice, considering two days ago it snowed.
