And the snow is melting however it's hard to tell as there is so much this year. They have begun preparing sand bags in the red river valley...getting ready for flooding. It may get bad this year.

I can't wait to gather that fruit again this year. I just learned last year how yummy fresh figs were.

We were seeing a few signs of spring the past couple of days with the daffodils doing their best to pop up out of the ground but then this morning they were blanketed once again with a layer of snow and fallen temperatures! I can not wait to see the blossoms on my 100 year old crab apple tree (always such a gorgeous sight) but will have to wait closer to Mother's Day for that happy sight! Thanks for brightening my day though ... very appreciated since I'm in a bit of a slump today!

No unfortunately no sign of spring yet, just got up and there is snow on the ground again. The rain from this week took all of what we had away and now it's back! I so want spring to start. Next week looks above freezing so maybe soon.
