Is it May yet???

On Thursday, it was 59 degrees as I drove home from work, windows down, hair flying in the breeze. I opened up my sliding door and let my cats square off with the squirrels on the other side.

Then Friday happened…………………………….it was one of those ’snowing-the-entire-time-I-am-at-work-can-barely-get-out-of-the-parking lot-because-the-snow-is-too-high’ type of days. Ugh……….I thought they were long gone. I almost forgot how to use my scraper to clean off my car because I told my mind I wouldn’t need that knowledge again until NEXT winter, since it is officially spring now.

But at least it was warm yesterday and most of it melted. It also caused things to look really pretty, so I decided to document it, since I hear there was no snow in Iowa on Friday.

The poor little plants sprouting up outside my window are not looking so good anymore after being doused with so much snow. Hopefully they will pull through.

Signs of Spring

I was so pleased this weekend to look out my sliding door and see, just beyond my porch, this gorgeous sight:

If you can ignore the repulsive wet leaves, and icky snow/ice combo, the little shoots peeking through the ground are a beautiful sight to see. I have no idea what kind of flower that is, maybe tulips?? Anything that poked up from the ground in Iowa was always a tulip, maybe it is the same way here. Either way it is awesome.

Now that I really look at it, the snow kind of looks like cookies and cream ice cream………..yummy.
