A bit like a feather bed, I thought...
When each cluster of snow flakes landed, they collapsed like this...
It was all short lived. By the time that I left work, the snow was not only gone, but the streets were totally dry. Friday the car went into the shop because of this...
The windshield was originally hit by a rock a month after I bought it, on that damn Hope-Princeton. It was truly a reminder about impermanence as I washed and polished and shone my brand new car. The remarkable thing about the rock chip was that it stayed that way - for close to 8 years. And then this winter, it decided to spread its wings. With a brand new windshield (I can see clearly now - very), my plan is to stay away from other cars on the road.
The excitement of spring is everywhere. The cat lies on the windowsill by the open window; she dashes around as the birds land on the various trees. And today, we woke up to beautiful blue sunny skies. In the afternoon, the fireman and I swept off the walkways.
And here is the last of this year's snow...
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!

Yeah....we got it in Spokane as well, but, like you, it was gone before the day was out. What I really like is the steady progression of temperature upwards from one day to the next. The grass is greening up, the trees are budding out, and there is, indeed, SUNSHINE! I love Spring. Even if we get more moisture, this is the best time of year.

Here there hasn't been a steady progression. This morning, I went to work with a jacket and covered shoes. When I came home, it was sandals time. Just like that.
And then, I remember, this is what happens every year.
Good wrining as usual, Patricia Ann. We are enjoying our visitors. Mom
