Let's hope this was the last of the snow and spring will arrive soon.

That's rough stuff about the frozen lines underground. Sounds like a few people might be doing some digging this summer and insulating some how?... It's always something with a home. We try not to let it tire us mentally.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12038607543843376542014-03-29T19:20:53.467-05:002014-03-29T19:20:53.467-05:00With the temps warming up considerably around here...With the temps warming up considerably around here last week, I thought we were rushing headlong into spring. The local stores were stocking up on spring color--annuals in those handy-dandy pots with no room for roots to barricade themselves from the onslaught of the summer heat around here.<br /><br />But...then came the rain--that desperately-needed rain. Who can complain about that?! But with the temps dropping again, I thought of the domino effect it might have for people up north like you, who are desperate for some sort of break from the long freeze. Hope you see some real color soon--and not just in your beautiful photographs!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-62831920233831327982014-03-29T16:00:37.272-05:002014-03-29T16:00:37.272-05:00Every time I post about spring here or think about...Every time I post about spring here or think about the local seasonal beauty, I get a pang if guilt because of all my blog friends in the endless winter of the northeast.
