SPRING?? RIGHT!!

BEAUTIFUL! 

BUT IT IS THE END OF MARCH AND EVERYTHING IS STILL WHITE! 

EASTER EGG HUNT HAPPENED INDOORS. 

WE DID THE HUNT IN A FORM OF A

TREASURE HUNT.  

A TRIP OUT TO WINKLER TO VISIT MOM WHO WAS RELEASED FROM

HOSPITAL AFTER A 10 DAY STAY. 

 EVERYWHERE WE LOOKED, WHITE!

HORNDEAN HAD A HUGE PILE OF SNOW ALONG SIDE THE

HIGHWAY. IT IS ALWAYS A BLIZZARD ALONG THIS STRETCH!

 BUT A BRIGHT SPOT. 

ON THE WAY HOME WE SAW THAT

THE 'HILLS' AT MILLER ENVIRONMENTAL HAD A LITTLE GRASS

SHOWING. AND A FEW CANADA GEESE WERE TAKING

ADVANTAGE OF IT.

OUR FIRST GEESE THIS SPRING SIGHTED ON MARCH 28. 

TWO WEEKS LATER THAN LAST YEAR!

THEY ARE A WELCOME SIGN OF SPRING.

POOR GOOSE! NO OPEN WATER YET!

MARCH IS DONE AND WE ARE WELL INTO APRIL

 - - - -

 TIME TO START SOME SEEDS AND TRANSPLANTING.

 

I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE SOIL INTO 

4" POTS. I FINALLY GOT THE IDEA THAT A WATER BOTTLE

CUT DOWN WOULD MAKE A NICE LITTLE SHOVEL!

PERFECT FIT.

SO TIME TO TRANSPLANT THE GERANIUMS 

I HAD PICKED UP FOR .99 EACH. 

GOING WHITE AND VIOLET THIS YEAR!  

I ALREADY FOUND SOME COOL WAVE PANSIES 

AND PLANTED A COUPLE INTO A CONTAINER.

AS SOON AS WE HAVE ABOVE ZERO TEMPERATURES

THEY ARE GOING ON MY FRONT PORCH.

WAITING TO GET MY SPRING WREATH IN PLACE.

THE FORECAST TILL THE MIDDLE OF APRIL IS STILL SNOW AND COLD!

AFTER THE 15TH IT IS FORECAST TO 

HEAD FROM 3 UP TO 10 DEGREES DURING THE WEEK.

WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WERE WRONG, 

BUT AT LEAST THE MELT HAS

BEEN SLOWED DOWN. 

IT SHOULD ALSO HELP MINIMIZE THE FLOOD SITUATION?
