More Weather Observations

Earlier in the month I posted observations on the weather situation where I live, noting how much warmer and milder it seem so far this year. While that observation still stands, old man winter isn't going out with a whimper. In the past two weeks we've had a lot of ice, sleet, snow and freezing rain, almost as if to just remind us that it is still winter. Spring cant come quickly enough for me, and soon enough the garden beds will need attention. Perhaps this year we'll grow some vegetables along with all the flowers we normally grow. Sometime in April visiting a state park or forest will be good idea. Seeing the first blush of spring in a woodland prior to when the tree's leaves bud out is bound to cheer up everyone. Maybe my brother and his family can be convinced to come along.
