I know you probably get sick of hearing me complain
about our slow spring this year...
but I gotta VENT!
Today, April 19th we are in the middle of yet ANOTHER blizzard, folks!
And, we have not had the pleasure of ANY of this past winter's snow
even melting yet...
so that means we have YET to see bare ground since last OCTOBER!!!
Count them: 7 months (going on EIGHT) with all white on our ground.
Luckily in a week, I am heading to another tropical vacation to get away from it!
My nephew is having a destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
and
I can't TELL you how badly I need to be at the beach for a week.
So, today, again....I will delve back into my files from last April/May
to remember what real spring is like.
My only hope is that by the time we get back the snow will have melted during our absence!

I so look forward to getting out into our woods again
and finding the spring wildflowers
and
high flowing waterfalls!
Hope with me that by the second week in May
we thaw out enough
here for us to do so!
I love this part of the country with ALL my heart, but I am getting
SO IMPATIENT!!!!!!
