Spring snow

Technically Spring started yesterday with the vernal equinox. We have experienced about a week of very cold nights - hovering around zero. This morning, as I blog, it is snowing. Large flakes are drifting to the ground. Its been falling for about an hour - just enough to powder the roofs, cars, and garden. Both Merrilyn and James are still asleep. It's early mornings for me lately and James is still struggling with his cold. He's been up coughing every night for the past two weeks. For me - I'm off to stand in the snow waiting for my lift in to work.
