In Like a Lion

This is where we were a week ago. It was my birthday and March blasted in with our only snow storm except for Halloween. I prefer at this point in my life to count backwards for my birthdays. I just wanted to share with you the beautiful cake that Greg got for me.

All said and done we got around 4-6 inches of heavy, wet snow. It was a two day event and made the weather announcers go spastic, it has been a slow season for them. I had to work that day so it took a little longer to get in.

The picture above was from this storm and the one below was from last winter. What a difference a year makes. It’s like we didn’t even have winter this year. I think we had less than 10 inches for the whole season. I keep wanting to put away the shovels but am afraid to jinx everything.

One of the interesting things after a fresh snow are all the animal tracks in the yard. The above photo looks as if an entire herd came through.

I always enjoy watching the birds. This was from last week. Last evening while we were watching TV we heard a crash, there was a big raccoon on the deck. He had knocked the feeder down. I can’t ever remember them coming out of hibernation this early. Today we got into the high 60’s. I was able to open the windows and enjoy an outdoor bike ride.
