Too Early for Spring

Spring is a precarious time on the prairies.  There's the hope that the snow will all disappear - with no more to take its place until next winter.  It's been a beautiful Spring Break this past week.  Each morning, the hills of snow looked less than the previous day while the puddles grew.  Sitting around the 0 mark, hoping that precipitation would pass us.  Even though the grass is brown, it's a relief to see more of it uncovered - until this morning, that is!  The precipitation no longer could overlook us and big white flakes of snow have once again covered the lawn.  We get our hopes up, but in the back of our minds we know - it's too early for spring to really be here.
