Michigan could get 2"+ of snow, next week! Not my fault. My snow blower is still in my garage.

Fortunately (at this point, anyway) it's sitting at a 50% chance, between Tuesday and Wednesday. Even more fortunately, I haven't planted anything 'delicate', outdoors, yet. I'll be covering the Bleeding Hearts, though.

I really, really, REALLY hate Winter. Especially when it intrudes on my beloved Spring!!

The only positive thing about these cold temperatures is, it should slow the grass down, for a bit.

for the next few days after that. So far not much mud this spring. Mud season is the worst.

(where I grew up) but not so much anymore... although we got 8" here yesterday after a week of 60 degree weather... ugh!! lucky for me as well that I hadn't given in to the temptation to plant outside during that warm spell

My snowblower has been emptied of gas, oil in the cylinder, washed, and spray waxed. It's ready to be used next November.

Any snow that lands now, I'll see what the lawnmower can do. Not much, but it's the thought that counts.

Any ominous news, and I'll bring some potted plants inside. I have basil, mint, parsley. The mint will be consumed during the Kentucky Derby.

Snow. I'm done with it.
