Mother Nature Says Even Though the Calendar Says It's Spring--

Winter isn't over yet.

  

Not enough to close roads, but enough to cover the ground with beautiful, beautiful snow.

Finally! Let It Snow!!!

Punxsutawney Phil predicted that Winter would be ending early. And I groaned, because I like cold weather and we'd had so little snow this winter. While Phil said early Spring, Mother Nature had other ideas.

Within two weeks, she dumped two major snow storms on the Kansas City-area, the first brought over 12 inches of snow, the second another 12 inches. Kansas City being Kansas City, that meant road closings and I ended up with 4 snow days from work.

    

Because my dogs are so short, I had to dig out a trench along the side of the house that they could do their business in.
