(not so) Speechless Sundae…
Let's face it, us folks south of the Mason/Dickson ain't used to the all the white fluff, cold temps and bouts of cabin fever that Y'all north of "the line" are 'useta'. The past week of glorious spring-like weather has been a real god-send. While grubbing in the gardens, soaking up the rays and warm temps, I spotted this one lone daffodil, brave enough to herald, "Yes Virginia, Spring is on its way..."

Hi Michael - That is a beautiful sight! I live near Barbara and like she said we're getting more snow, but that's okay because I'm up in Vermont for the nexxt 5 days  to ski, dog sled and snowmobile, so it's all good!

I was planting new Rose bushes in the front yard yesterday.

Spring has sprung here. It's been in the 70-80's all week.

But it will be hot soon enough, LOL.

Good post,

Clint McKie

The weather snow gun hit southern areas and siphoned off the amounts of white stuff we usually get. See San Francisco got first snow to this amount since 1976. Snow is not a dirty four letter word in northern states where snow skiing, snowsledding, ice fishing, pond hockey, snow shoeing, etc.

Michael, We've noticed the green blades of the daffodils and crocus starting to protrude in our yard.  The end is in sight!!

We have trees beginning to bloom this week, but I don't remember seeing any daffodils yet.  Seems sorta backwards, but I'll take it.......very nice to see any signs of Spring!

Hi Michael, We just received another 5" of snow overnight.  Enjoyed seeing the vibrant colors again.  All we are seeing is the white snow.  Thanks for sharing.

I'm with you Michael.  I saw flowers beginning to pop their little heads this week-end as well.  I spent a part of my day walking and shopping in garden department at Lowes.  I love this time of year!

This weekend seems to be the sign that winter is over. In the 70's yesterday and near 80 today! My windows are open, my shorts are on and I'm headed out the door to go for a bike ride.

Bye-bye winter!
