Frosted Leaf Just when I thought we had seen the "last gasp" of Ole Man Winter, we get five inches of heavy wet snow.

One week left in April and we finally got a rain. Only .17 inches, but it's sure better than snow. Things are finally starting to pop up and show signs of life. Thought for the Day: April Showers bring May Flowers ... hopefully.

Winter is not even half over and I'm climbing the walls. In a couple days I'll be on Sanibel Island, Florida for a week, hoping it will snow 15" in Nebraska while I'm gone. Right now? I'm just standing by. Thought for the Day: A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no … Continue reading Standing By
Two days ago it was another balmy day in the midwest, with unseasonably warm weather and no moisture in sight. Just three nights ago, I took this same shot, click Christmas Traditions 3, and the lawn was still green. What a difference a day makes! Last night, Mother Nature blessed us with over 8" of … Continue reading Another Day
