Downright mean, in fact.

The snow came back thick and heavy last night, and this morning

there was a measured total of 4 inches on my front steps.

Not normal, I’m telling you.

It’s got to be hard on the plants that have starting acting like it’s really spring.

But mightn’t a cold snap sweeten up the rhubarb stalks?

Tonight we’re going to a fund raising dinner for the Friends of the University of Washington Libraries, an event I’m on the planning committee for. As a group, the committee has decided to dress in spring colors for the event.  I do have some nice spring colored sweaters, but I’m telling you , the open-toed sandals are staying home this year.
