Maybe Spring?

Maybe, just maybe it will be a nice spring day. It has been quite a week with weather and national disturbances all around! A collection of coincidences that have bombarded the senses and gripped the nation.

 Forecasters  were predicting snow and severe weather in our region off and on through Thursday. The worst of the storm finally coming Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. Receiving another 6 inches of wet, wet snow to help quench the thirsty ground. I was ready, with buckets and containers filled with water and the wood stacked in case the electricity went out again. Others have had torrential rains, tornados, and destruction from the same storm that has passed through the midwest.  My friends in Lisle, IL have had flooding up to their front yard. Fortunately, they live on a hill.

Thank goodness no power outages happened on my home front! However a larger. more sinister disturbance took place in Boston on Monday. Total disbelief that someone could kill and maim the innocence at a marathon.  Even as we were adjusting to the possibility of terroristic events a horrible explosion took place at a fertilizer plant in Texas, killing many in it wake. Yes, a week of many disturbing disturbances...
