Well -- the meteorologists didn't completely mislead us this time. There definitely was a white world outside my window this morning. Luckily, it wasn't the amount that they had suggested, though their numbers went from 4 cm, to 15 cm to 20+ cm yesterday during forecasts. Guess that helps with the accuracy rate <sigh>. There is enough that I'll need to clear the porch and stairs, but that will wait until tomorrow morning. It is to be sunny tomorrow, so that may help remove some of the stuff on the ground and the car before I need to walk or drive. I remained indoors today and worked on household tasks and some major work for the office. Several things moving along nicely, but still not getting to all the items I seem to dream I can do over the weekend <smile>.
I will admit that even though it is clearly the transition season of spring, it is disappointing to see snow and ice pellets arrive. The upside is at this point in the game, it won't last long. The ground is warming and spring bulbs are showing their leaves. My tulips are up about 3-4 inches. Crocuses, snowdrops and periwinkles should show up within the next week. We will likely be under heavy cloud for most of the week, if the forecasters are anywhere close to correct. April showers can clear away some of the ugliness leftover from winter and coax the flowers and grass to green up a bit. I do like spring and I don't expect it to be summer quite yet. I'm one that enjoys the cooler temps of spring and fall and early and late summer.
That all said, I did think of being somewhere warmer without snow cover -- just briefly. If it had been the 20+cm predicted yesterday evening, I would have pondered this idea more fully <smile>. The song that I'm sharing today is a cover of a wonderful one from the '60s. I love the soulful aspect of the singer's voice. This version makes me hear the song differently. Enjoy!
