Counting the days

I'm guessing there won't be any more snow this season; not that there was much to speak of anyway. I miss the blizzards we used to get when I was a kid, when everything would be buried and the neighborhood was transformed for a couple days.

Anyway... I took this pic back in late January at one of my favorite parks. I'm looking forward to finding meadowlarks in that field next month.

Looks like the snow we used to get here. Nothing this year at all. Bulbs are already blooming - earlier than usual.

it was ALWAYS snowier when we were kids!

I understand. So many good memories were made on a Flexible Flyer.

I'm thinking (hoping) that we might get one good 'NorEaster that will dump a foot of snow in early March (then it will melt in just a few days).

I have pictures of me in my Easter dress, white patent leather shoes, and a bonnet (of course) on our front step -- with over a foot of snow piled behind me.

When I was older, my dad and I would go out to shovel (where was my sister?), and I would try to get into the cars without knocking any snow off of them. Inside the car, it was like a snow fort -- dark, quiet, other-wordly.

Lovely picture. I hope you will make another visit when the meadowlarks are there.

I would love one big storm to end the winter with!

Still more snow on the ground here - but - I am starting a few seeds :)
