Here comes the sun!



We still have a lot of snow. The snowplows have the roads cleared nice, but there is still a lot of snow on the side of the roads and the ditches are full.

It has been a long winter. You can see by this photo there is still a lot of snow to melt. We have about 2 to 3 feet of solid snow. My flower beds are under this quilt of snow.

But the sun has been out, and the days are getting longer. The temps are getting nicer. Today is supposed to hit a high of 30 degrees.
Please check out the other outdoor Wednesday posts, thanks to Susan at a Southern Daydreamer.

There has been so much snow this year down your way. Still have a ways to go before spring but the sap is running for Maple syrup up here!

There is has been snow this year in places that never gets snow. Mother nature has been snow wild. Regardless, it does make for some beautiful snow shots.

Oh my you are right it will be a while before all those piles of snow melt. The sunshine looks so welcome though.

I hope spring breaks all its previous records like winter did. I could use 4 months of spring.
Happy Wednesday.

Holy Smokes! Where in MN are you that you still have THAT much snow? Looking at your photos makes me feel like I'm living in the tropics. That being said, I luv photos of nice clean snow.

Yikes Bonnie, you've still got a ton of snow there! We've lost a lot just this week with the rain and warm temps.
