Day 104


The last of the snow this morning.


By this afternoon - whoo-hoo! It's finally all gone!


This is a flock of swans that flew by this evening - the first flock I have seen this year.

Day 103


Today our oldest son is 23 - my husband made the cake - strawberry black forest cake -it was delicious.


The last of the snow was spread around to speed melting.
There is baseball practice going on in the field.

Day 102


These blocks are becoming this -

Day 101


These tulips came up since yesterday (that section of the garden has a lot of rocks!).


That's what +15℃ does!

❤Joanne

Day 100!


The first tree to bud - a Spirea.




❤Joanne

Day 99


Good camouflage!


❤Joanne

Day 98


I started a new project - a 'Storm at Sea' lap  quilt.

Day 97


When I started taking these melting snow pictures I thought it would take about 2 weeks. It has been over 3 weeks!


This drift is still a few feet deep (my son dug out a cross section), so we still have a long way to go.

Day 95


My three men were moving the snow around, trying to get it to melt faster.


Later in the day it looked like this.

Day 94


We woke up to this!


It was gone by the afternoon.

❤Joanne

Day 93


Begonias under the grow lights - one month to go before they can be planted outside.


There is a train on the horizon today.

❤Joanne

Day 92


This sparrow seems to be staking his claim on the birdhouse.


It is nice to see so many birds (crows and robins).


❤Joanne

Day 91


It always amazes me how quickly the tulips pop out when the snow melts.


❤Joanne

Day 90


+14℃ forecast for tomorrow, should bring some big changes.

❤Joanne

Day 89


The sunlight made the branches of the dogwood bush glow this morning.


My oldest son took me for a ride on the quad today - it was lovely to be out in warmer weather.


One more week and I think the snow will be gone!

❤Joanne

Day 88


Slowly, but surely!
It looks like the shed is surrounded by a moat (the water drains to the back of the yard).

❤Joanne

Day 87


We drive by these beautiful sculptures on the way back from my parents.


❤Joanne

Day 86


There are thin layers of ice all over the yard.
The Juncos hope in and out of the holes looking for food, but I couldn't get a good picture.


❤Joanne

Day 85


The thaw has come to a standstill - the temperatures are well below normal, -15℃ tonight.
