It's hard to stay positive when you wake up to this for days in a row...

I guess I'm just ready for spring... I've been perusing my pix to see if there are any I can put in blog posts and there are so many nice spring & summer ones! duck

I felt I had to take this picture when I got up this morning, since it's snowing again...

winter

Our deck in Edmonton faces the park in our cul-de-sac, so we have a lovely view year round. Even with snow, the trees look pretty, but we've had so much you can't tell where the pond is anymore in our yard, and you can barely see the one bridge that has railing...

I guess the only thing to do is go shovel and remind my self we are closer to spring now than we were in the fall...

Peg,

I can stay positive until I have to show a home in this stuff.

Which I don't!

Have confidence that it will all go away soon!

It's snowing here again today. I know exactly how you feel! I'm so excited knowing that March 1 is right around the corner, because it feels that much closer to Spring!

Oh no! I totally feel for you and have an even greater appreciation for the 70 degree weather today. Just a great lesson to never take anything for granted!

Hi Sharon, are you offering to set me up? ;) I wish I could, but it's getting busy here, snow or no!

Art, I know it'll be gone soon and then I'll get to see all the little sprouts coming up, I love spring! It's just hard to imagine spring is on it's way when you wake up to this...

Sharon, what is it about the word March that makes me think of daffodils? We don't usually have any show up until April!

Rob, you're a wicked, wicked man... ;)

Sarah, thanx for the pep talk!

Thanx, everyone, for stopping by!

Lets shake things up at your home today!

The only thing we can be truly "positive" of is eventually spring and summer will arrive.............as soon as Mother Nature quits dropping that white stuff on us.

Roger, I guess it doesn't matter which season, Mother Nature's gonna drop something on us! We just have to decide what to do with it...

Rob, it might snow there, but how long does it last?

Thanx for stopping by!

Woke up to more snow myself, so I certainly know how that is. I am so tired of it, I just can't stand it.

Andrea, everyone I talk to now says they just want 'it' to be over! I think they can't even say the 'W' word any more either! We'll get through it, we'll stay in the 'rain'!

The weather was suppose to bring snow to Silicon Valley yesterday evening, the first time since the early 60's. Well, it didn't happen so I was at least hoping for rain and that didn't happen. I was in Anaheim last week and the temps were in the 40's and that's the coldest weather I've been in yet. I do know that I would love to open my blinds and see snow but I wouldn't want to shovel it to get out of my residence. Andrea, the snow looks beautiful from someone who hasn't been near it all winter.

Virginia, I'm always for snow if it just stays on the grass! It just won't listen! C'mon down! (up) You can see all the snow you want! ;)
