I spoke too soon. Spring has not yet arrived in northern Idaho. This morning when I awoke, I found approximately 2 - 4 new inches of new snow on the ground. Thank goodness we still have our snow tires on our vehicles. In Washington state, studded snow tires had to be taken off vehicles by March 31st or drivers might end up with a $110 fine. In Idaho we can keep our snow tires on at least through April. Hopefully by then we’ll be safe in taking them off.
We’ve been joking that spring comes in May and June, summer is July and August, fall is September and October and winter is the other six months. HA!
I am glad that snow is white and sparkly and beautiful. Makes it less painful to see so much of it so often. It really is lovely. But I am finished calling my backyard a white winter wonderland. I’m ready for green grass and all the little yellow wildflowers that appear all over our yard.
I’ll be sure to take a picture at the first sighting. Come on, Spring, we’re ready and waiting!
