Think Spring

Here in Maine, it is very far from looking like the spring.

FlowerOn my other blog, the jebswebs business blog, I just posted a new spring photo into the heading; this is wishful thinking. I was/am tired of looking at the snow in the previous heading and even though everything here is very brown…still with patches of that white stuff…I am hopeful that within a few weeks it will start to be spring like in Maine.


Ah…mud season in Maine...

Spring Snow

So, alright already. I overslept this morning. I didn't have to get up for anything.

So, at 7:45 am I rolled over. And I did that again at 8:45.

But then I slept until 10:07 am and had to really drag myself out of bed.

But I almost jumped back under the covers when I looked out the window and saw patches of snow on the ground and the cars in the parking lot covered. I felt like Rip Van Winkle and thought I had slept through the remainder of spring, all of the summer and most of the fall. Was it already late October?

It sure looked like it. Ugh.

Thinking this was just a brief setback, I went out and got bagels. Fortunately, the ice scrapper was still on the floor of the back set of the car 'cause I had to brush off the snow to be able to see.

Throughout breakfast it continued to snow and sleet, but the accumulations had stopped. Then, at about 11:30 am, it started to snow even harder...those big wet flakes that you get in spring snow storms in March.

When it started covering the ground again, I got out my trusted camera and took this video.

I'm thinking about going back to bed...

Springtime

spring growth
We seem to be about a week early in the growing cycle. That's alright by me.
