THE LAST SNOW

On our way home from a doctor's appointment  on April 4, hubby and I stopped at a grocery store for a few items. We walked out of Food Lion and blam! We were pelted with sleet heavy enough to sting my cheek. We had almost an hour's drive ahead of us, but didn't worry. After all, the weather had been pretty warm and the roads still held some of yesterday's heat.

The farther we drove, the worse it got. Snow mixed with the sleet. Slush built up on the roads. The last two bridges we crossed were covered with nearly an inch of snow. And I loved it all!

  Almost home.

Birds gobbled seed and sought shelter.

Yep, I like snow. But I'm ready for it to end now. Spring is my favorite season (until the next season rolls around). I look forward to more trees budding, flowers blooming, birds singing and having babies, my annual visit from my beloved hummingbirds.

So go away Winter. Welcome Spring!
