Status: offline 		The first day of spring has come and gone and when the day started, we were expecting 4 - 6 inches of snow.  I was excited to have fresh powder on the slopes for skiing this weekend.  Woke up this morning and it looks like we only had a light dusting of snow.  It look like spring might really be here afterall....

Now, everyone in the house thinks I am nuts for being excited over more snow (we received several inches last weekend), but I have found a new hobby and it requires snow!!!

How was everyone else's fisrt day of spring?

No more snow down he-ah...muahahaaaahahaaa!!!

What on earth is your new hobby...or was it skiing? *scratches head and drinks a bit more coffee*

Status: offline 		Yuck to the pollen; that stuff drives me nuts.  We have a few sneezing in our house but that is because of the snow mold.  I didn't even know that snow could grow mold until I moved up here!!!  So far, my allergies do not seem to be affected by it.

Yes, skiing is my new hobby.  It is so much fun and my body just aches afterwards.  This will most likely be the last weekend of the season for us.

Enjoy your pollen and I will go enjoy my snow  *g*

We had snow flurries, I took a coat that was too light for the forecast.  Wishful thinking, perhaps.

It is downright weird to have pansies flowering all winter long!

No chit about the pansies...that year i spent in ATL, i was low grade confused all year long...*dont say ANYTHING*...because the seasons never changed and all we got for snow was rain...and it never got below 40 and they planted winter flowers that are...to my midwestern state of mind, spring flowers....winter flowers would be carved of ice....

Status: offline 		We've had beautiful sunshine for several days in a row here on the south coast of England. The birds/small mammals such as squirrels have been in a love-making/nesting frenzy, gardens are full of sun-kissed daffodils in full bloom and all is well in my world. It warms the soul.

Here's some pretties for you snow bunnies.
