Can't Resist More Spring Snow Pictures!

Yesterday we got 4 more inches of lovely spring snow here in the Chicago area. The tulips didn't mind the snow bath at all.

These little blue wildflowers were happy to have a new background to show off their color!
My iris wasn't bothered at all by the pesky snow. If you look closely there are more of those blue wildflowers (not sue what they are called) covered to the tippy top. This last snowfall wasn't so bad with the reminders present that spring really is here. Today it has already melted all away.

Out Like A Lion

Last night we got seven inches of snow here in the Chicago are. Since the ice/snow mix also made the power go out we had to go out and enjoy the beauty of the snow sticking to the branches. The robins were everywhere, trying to puff up and stay warm. The kids and Dad had fun building one last snowman and heading off to the sledding hill with the rest of the die-hards.

It's a lot easier to take knowing real warmth is just around the corner!
