Where is spring, I think it's lost

9 days until Easter, the first day of spring was March 20; that's 3 weeks ago.  Here I sit home alone while Erik is training for his new job and it is snowing outside.  I would love to show the great pictures of our spring break that was nine days long, but we don't have any; it snowed the whole time.  In fact in 36 hours we got over 14 inches of the wettest snow ever.  Erik was bummed he wasn't here to go boarding, I was bummed that instead of riding our beach cruisers up and down the boulevard I was judging the boys in an indoor slam dunk contest; do they know that I can't judge honestly for fear of hurting ones feelings?  So, in lieu of this years spring pics you are getting exactly one year ago today.  April 14, 2010.  Please be aware of the difference so when I think back and wonder why I was so depressed spring of 2011 this blog will remind me.

This is not spring, though they look very happy we all know there should be no snow

Ice outside, if we did this today we would be doing either Hot Cocoa or using the snow to make a lemonade Icee concoction.

Yes, April 14 2010 we were having a lemonade stand while I worked in the yard

No snow what so ever.  The leaves and plants are on their way out.  Gorgeous.  This is what spring should be.
