White out

I've been on blog hiatus, experiencing the winter doldrums. This isn't a complaint, it's more like a reality. Minnesota has long, cold winters some years, and this is one of them. Temperatures are on the rise, though, with the prospect of near 40 degrees tomorrow and Wednesday. The white fluff will become grayish slush, and we Minnesotans will take it as a sign that spring is on the way in the next few months. LOL 

Here's what it looked like across the street yesterday. Today, too. Or did I take this picture last May??

You think I'm kidding. Here is a REAL picture from May 4, 2013!
