Premature Celebration

My celebration of spring may have come too soon. I walked out of church today to find Rexburg transformed. Gale force winds, blur of snow, and white drifts carved into odd shapes...

The view outside our front window: I could hardly see the house across the street.


The camera doesn't capture the wind and snow. I wish you could see the neighbor's tree flailing violently. It looks so wild in the wind. I guess March does come in like a lamb and out like a lion!

SIgns of Spring...

1. The last few days have been in the 60's and 70's. I got a phone call from Andrew before I left work asking if I wanted to go on a bike ride. Heck Yes I Did! It hasn't been warm enough to ride a bike since before I can remember. (Idaho tends to have long winters)


2. My kids were coming in from lunch recess, flushed, sweaty, and with that unmistakable smell of warm weather that teachers recognize after spending a bit of time in enclosed spaces with 20+ warm-bodied children.

3. Every time I pulled up in the driveway, I took note of the ever decreasing piles of snow in our front yard. Yesterday, I celebrated when I saw I could announce that we are now officially snow free. (Thank you, thank you very much)

4. And then, I saw this...

My tulips are popping up!!!!!

Oh, Happy Day.
