This is spring?

I hear thunder. Yet it's snowing. Then it's raining again after we had a glaze of ice a few days ago. Nature is showing the effects of a long winter and an intense spring. The viburnum berries that have stayed on the shrubs are shriveled and hang heavily (above). The stems with seed heads (saved for the birds) are falling over. I can't clean it up yet. Too wet. Too cold. 

I'm glad to be indoors, but it's interesting and beautiful. Never a dull weather moment in Minnesota!

Update: We got seven inches of snow--too heavy to shovel, too wet for the snow-blower.
