The driveway was dry, the remaining snow on the streets were snow birms that were receeding inch by inch, I could see the grass in the yards and fall leaves that were not bagged up. I was anticipating the principles announcement of "no more snow gear needed", I was putting gloves away for the coming (and welcoming) of warmer days and pops was getting the camper prepped for a late April visit. I even took a Claritin to head off the blooming season allergy suffering, and thought to start running outside. Then it started, ever so lightly, with a few flakes that you could count as they softly fell. 15 minutes later, no more counting, but the anguish of "winter is not over yet" filled the soul. How ironic that the Land's End Beach Wear catalog arrived on this day- rubbing salt on an open wound. The white flakes fell for a straight 11 hours so what's a girl to do? make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and watch the Star Wars Trilogy - may the force be with you - but send us the sun please.

the same thing happened down in here in Washington last week. The cherry trees already had their blossoms and the bulbs where already out. We know how you feel. Thank goodness it warmed up quickly and melted.
You don't want to see the pictures on my blog then.
...better yet, LOOK at them and THEN just come on down to Arizona again!
Just a thought.
