A Tale of Two Seasons

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...that's April in Minnesota.  Sure, the season is officially spring, but winter does not go gently (sorry, mixing literary references).  Here are the photos that prove our crazy weather.

No sitting on the porch yet

Because of all the wind, I am not sure how much snow we have.  In one place I measured almost 12 inches.  Also, the temperature has dipped. It says 24 F on the thermometer below.  So I won't be sitting on the porch anytime soon.

P. S.  For a look at my garden, visit Richmond Library (Minnesota) on Monday at 6:30 pm where I'll be presenting.
