Snow and Spring

It has been one crazy winter here in Arkansas. We aren't much for snow and cold temperatures around here. Personally, I like one good pretty snowfall and just enough cold temperatures to make you appreciate spring. This winter we've had 4 good measurable snowfalls, three or which have been in the last week. This past Wednesday, we got the most snow I've seen in a long time. Probably since I was about 4 when we got close to 2 ft. Here in Central Arkansas we got about 8 inches. My parents got about 10 inches and my sister got almost 2 ft. Arkansas shut down for a good 3 days. Today the only memory of all the snow is the snowy patches in the shade as the 60 degree temperatures this afternoon melted it all away. I for one am glad. I love a good snowfall. It makes the world look so different, so pure. But seriously, bring on the sunshine, green grass and flowers. I love Spring! I'm looking forward to getting our new house looking nice and well kept. Since we moved in late October, we didn't get much done in the yard. I'm also ready to get school going. We've had one 5 day week since we came back from Christmas break. I don't want to be in school when we have to start back to school. For now, I am going to pretend it's spring since the temps are supposed to be near 70 at the end of the week. Bring it on!
