And The Snow Keeps Falling

It's springtime here in the Rockies, which means anything goes as far as the weather is concerned. We're accustomed to schizophrenic jumps from snow to dry sunshine in April, but this year is much heavier on the snow side of things. Living in an arid climate that's had more years of drought than not in the past decade, I'm grateful for any moisture.
But I do wish I could see the daffodils and tulips that started blooming a couple of weeks ago. Instead, this is what my backyard looked like a few days and 10" of snow ago. And there's another storm in the forecast.
Good thing I have my knitting to keep me busy!

It's beautiful. Here in the midwest we are drowning. Several of my family's homes have flooded basements, streets and highways are shut down, even the Metra train broke down this morning. Not to mention it's pitch black outside at 10AM. I'd much rather see your beautiful snow.

Good thing you have your knitting to keep you warm as well! I'm knitting one of your "6 stitches to the inch" socks now - toasty warm!

My brother lives in Evergreen. If this helps, he says that the snow helps with "the fire season." I had no idea that Colorado had a fire season. Keep on knitting!
