I must admit we had an easy winter here in the Northeast.. Except for all the rain and flooding, we really didn't get much snow. Did feel for the folks in PA and DC, MD, etc that ended up with all the snow (a little backwards from the norm). We had another big hit of rain last week, which really swelled the rivers. People losing their basements, driveways, roads washed away (like I haven't been there before (the basement part). No leaks for us anymore ... woohoo!!! Some areas here in New Hampshire had 12-15" of rain.. in MARCH alone! That's a lot of water! Lots of power outages.. wind.. But I'm really not complaining, just stating facts and happy we didn't have much snow this year.. If all this rain had been snow, however, we'd all still be buried!!
All the plants are coming up and yes, it's a bit early and I just hope we don't get some freak cold spell that is going ruin them. Can't stop them from growing! Sat out on the deck yesterday for a few hours and chatted / played Scrabble with my oldest daughter. We both fried in the sun.. and it felt good! So instead of pale white, we are now looking like a couple of cooked lobsters! lol Easter Sunday today, it's not as hot as yesterday, but still beautiful out there. We'll be having a cookout (at dinnertime) - need to christen the grill!
April and May are going to be busy around here.. A baby shower for my niece, 60th birthday party for my brother, daughters bridal shower, daughters wedding... than a well needed break before the grandson's birthday party. It's been crazy around here.. but a good crazy!
