Ding dong, the snow is gone!

OK...mostly gone! Sunday was the big celebration day of the last of the front yard snow melting, and after some serious spreading out of the backyard snow piles, I would say that tomorrow at around 12:17pm (just a guess) will be the happy moment for the back yard as well!

We were just discussing the other day how it seemed like one day we thought winter was going to last forever, and then suddenly the snow was almost gone! It looks like we're going to have a fair bit of raking to do once the grass dries out (that's what happens when it snow so much in October!) but it's nice to be outside and enjoying the spring. I even spent some time turning over the dirt in my flower beds yesterday - with the sun on my back I was actually HOT! I need to get everything ready for flower planting when I can because I'm not going to have much time this year to get things in - I'm due eight days after the long weekend!
