Spring, Where are You?

Just when we thought that spring had finally arrived and we had our thoughts filled with wonderful visions Mother Nature came back with a vengeance.  I remember thinking about what I would plant in my garden, cleaning out the chicken coop and getting it ready for the new flock and checking my little perennials that I just planted last year, wishing and hoping that they will make a grand return.  This is what I awoke to yesterday.

This is a pail that the wee ones were collecting leaves and sticks in the day before.  Now it is in 5 inches of snow.  Yes we woke up to a morning of freezing rain and snow. 

Where is my Sage?  Under snow and ice.

This says "Welcome to my Garden", I think is should now say "Welcome to my SNOW Garden"!!

It may be a little hard for the wee ones to pull this wagon through the snow.

Oh, the wonders of living in Canada!  I guess it's called the Great White North for a reason.

On the plus side I am getting a lot of work inside done.  I have been working hard on painting our living room and painting and installing the trim for it as well.  I am feeling very empowered knowing how to use a Mitre saw and Nail gun.
