Someone Please Tell Mother Nature It's Spring

A couple of weeks ago I was looking through my posts from April of last year and noticed that we'd had snow as late as April 8th, but then we'd had a rip-roaring winter last year.  This year we didn't get winter until Spring had already  arrived and we've bounced back and forth since.  Today is April 13th, it's shortly past noon, and not so shortly past the start of Spring.  I'm looking out the window and watching it snow.

Our weather guessers had forecast snow at the higher elevations and maybe down as far as 5000 or even 4000 ft.  I am just at 3000 ft and saw a f/b post from a friend who's down at the 2600 - 2700 ft level.  It simply read, "It's snowing".  The forecast for the foothills today was for rain with possible thunderstorms (which, by the way, we had in great abundance last night) although, their credibility being what it is, most of us prepared for snow.

I'm so looking forward to warm, dry weather.  I'm not anxious for the extreme summer heat, but I'd sure like to be able to go outside and play in the dirt again.  Somebody, please, tell Mother Nature enough already, it's Spring!
