Sunday was just such a weird day. The temperatures were in the 50s and low 60s when I opened the sliding glass door onto the deck. What was that noise?? Hundreds of blackbirds chattering in the trees along the creek! The drip, drip, drip of ice melting and falling off the roof of the house! The wind moaning through the bare trees!
at least 6 inches deep is now great puddles of icy water! The gravel road that I live on is almost impassable. The channel 5 news anchor on Friday evening reported that county governments were asking people not to travel unnecessarily on country roads as the thawing was making them muddy, slushy, slippery and treacherous. Crews can't get out to re-rock them until it dries up. In the north part of my county, rivers and creeks were out of their banks.
I did my part; I stayed home all weekend and didn't even venture out for church on Sunday morning.
This morning I awoke to 4+ inches of snow on top of a sheet of ice. Winter has returned. Just let me whine a little!

We have had no snow what so ever this winter! None, scary huh?
I think this is all about global warming and I don't like it a bit! The past two summers in Iowa have been exceptionally hot and humid with stretches of very little rain followed by big downpours. I'm ready for a more moderate climate.
Do you usually have spring rain to replenish your ground or do you count on winter snow melt? Hopefully you won't have a drought!
Crazy!!
