not Spring yet!

Good Friday usually brings rain-storms or at least a dreary cloudy day. Not this special year...lots of snow! It snowed all day...made it interesting getting to/from the Church 4 times for prayers/Stations/Taize and evening service...

I waited till after MAC and Sat. morn. prayers to shovel the 5" or so for about an hour...w/o a coat...it was so nice and sunny...that's the way of Triduum...first the suffering of snow-storm, then the glorious sun-light...it's only in the 30's but the sun in March is so warm...hearing the birds chirp w/ the snow, listening to the trees creek in the wind...what a glorious Holy Saturday we had here...I took a bunch of pictures of the snow...like a blanket of love from God to us this day...so beautiful... sadly it looks to be gone by early week with 40's coming...darn--spring ccan hold off for now :)

50's again

Sunny and nice, sitting in the sun again just after 1pm, listening to the melting-snow in the storm-sewers and singing birds again, and also watching the bees in the front tree and squirrels playing in the yard...ahhhhhhh
Can't wait until the matted down grass and large mounds of snow are gone!
Please spring--come to us soon!

ps-tried to 'turn-over' the compost area...ground still too frozen...

the big melt is on...

Today...as I sit in the warm sun (sipping a nice Weiss beer), listening to the birds chirp and the snow-melt running into the road stormsewers...I can only hope that spring is on the way!

The 'warmer' weather started tihs week about on Tues...the cad we waked T...thank you!
