It must be spring

A tulip is in blossom in our flower bed. Exactly one week ago only a leaf was poking up through the snow. It has been above 20 degrees Celsius the last two days.

April 14 - Is It Spring Yet?

Our tulips are up. Look there is one of the leaves poking through the snow.
The Iris plants are coming along.
It snowed all day Tuesday and overnight and didn't quit until 11 a.m. Wednesday morning. There is our first glimpses of the results of the snow out of the bedroom window. It was wet heavy snow. One of the branches of our birch tree snapped off. On Sixth avenue some big branches broke off and damaged cars.

Later in the morning Bob went out and snapped a few pictures.




Then he shoveled part of the driveway.
The electrical power went off sometime during the night. It came on again for about an hour at 5:30 a.m. Then it was off until 1 p.m. We were able to cook some breakfast and some lunch.
