A week and a half ago the garden was still covered with snow. Today there are daffodils, crocus, and early tulips blooming.

My knees are still bothering me, so I can’t work out there yet, but I still have pictures from Easter a couple of years ago when all my blooming bulbs were buried in snow.

I moved the snow shovel off the front porch, and dumped the bucket of salt into the water softener (my husband actually did that. I can’t lift it). But, I didn’t take that shovel too far away. I could need it yet. I still remember the year we got a heavy, wet, snow on May 5. It broke all the blooming trees.

That’s the fear, eh?
We get a big blast of cold, and everything dies.

I hope your knees feel better soon.
