Snowing, snowing...

Knowing that the month of April is always something of a cusp this far north, a hinge between the seasons, we try to be ready for quicksilver change, but the view beyond the windows this morning was a surprise nevertheless. We were caught napping, taken by night, by stealth, by puckish seasonal artifice.

We opened our eyes to falling snow, and there is more to come today, perhaps a reminder from the Old Wild Mother that whatever the works of man (or woman), She still has carriage of the Great Round of time and the seasons.

Seems the "old wild Mother" is surprising everyone this year! We are supposed to be in the 80's this week. Frankly, I'd still like a little snow. Yard work is starting a little too early for me :)
