The sun is setting later, the days are getting longer. Isn't that a sign of spring, Daryl?

Jeremy - I edited your post because here you need to use white instead of silver.

Today we returned home from church to discover 4 crocuses blooming by the front door. These are the very first spring blooms I've seen, but there are still no signs of greenery in the woods or meadows, though there are some plants greening up along the creek bank.

We also had some light rain today instead of snow, though this isn't the first rain of the year. And more is predicted throughout the coming week, including a possible thunderstorm.

The Lord is the strength of my life and my portion forever.

This morning, April 1st, we woke up to lots more snow on the ground on top of the snow that is still on the ground. To top it off, it is still snowing outside.

A perfect snow sandwich!

We woke up to a light covering of snow on the ground this morning too. But it was all melted by afternoon.

My husband just returned from 2 weeks in Texas. He is quite a bit darker than he was when he left! He's been enjoying hot, sunny weather for the last 2 weeks. At least he has finally gotten over whatever he had that was hanging on for so long.

I guess you got a good April Fool's huh Daryl?

Spring seems to be really here now. We've enjoyed several warm days, had our first spring thunderstorm (though we had one in January, a very unusual phenomenon around here), and not only have the birds been doing all their normal springtime activities for some time now, but the spring peepers (tree frogs) are now singing their hearts out! I love nature's music this time of year!

The weather has been wonderful all week.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG, and I love it!

This is what has crept into my mind everyday when I could get up and open the doors and windows. Then go out and dig in the earth and plant flowers, early ones, of course.

For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.

I finally read your post, Wendy, regarding April fools day.

The weather is forcasting another 5 cm (2 inches) of snow beginning sometime after midnight tonight.
