March 21, 2012: Snow Day

 Yep, that's right.  It's the second day of spring and it is snowing.  This is really unusual weather in Oregon, and just to make it worse, our relatives in Wisconsin and Illinois are having unusually warm weather this spring!  And this time we actually got a snow day :)

Our daffodils were buried in snow,

 so I knocked all the snow off them.  They still didn't have the energy to stand up tall, so I cut them and put them in a vase :)  First cut flowers of the season.

 This picture gives you an idea of how deep the snow is... and it's still falling.

 Kwan Yin still looks peaceful.

 The lilac buds are like little ice cream cones, and yes, the garage needs to be repainted.  That's one of our summer projects this year.

 What a crazy, crazy day!
