Winter wonderland...oops it is April

Perseverance

Even with record breaking snow and cold these flowers are making a Spring awakening.

Almost unbeleivable

The forecast was for rain during the day and changing to snow at night. Instead it started to snow Thursday late morning and never really rained at all.

By the ride home it was messy and slushy.  By Friday morning we ended up with 8-10 inches by my estimate.  It was a heavy wet snow.

This is past mid-April. I cannot recall getting this much snow this late and

There was some sun yesterday so there was melting but since it got down into the 20's this morning, the stuff is still around.

It is now Saturday and the sun is out again so more melting.  It is forecast to snow a bit more tonight then change to rain...we'll see.  Then Sunday night more snow! 

The drinking fountain arrow at the Mozaic Art Park.  The snow Thursday and Friday was wet and coming in sideways.  The arrow is supposed to be all blue.

Mr. and Mrs. Duck are back

04/29 update: I saw the ducks again this morning. They were making out on the roof of a three story apartment building at Hennepin and 32nd. It was so funny to see two ducks on the top of a brick apt building. I'm standing at my bus stop reading the schedule when I hear a flutter behind me. I'm thinking it is a pigeon but when I turn around it is a female mallard duck. And across the street is her mate.
This pair has been coming to our neighborhood for several years. I'll have to look back at last year's post to see when it was.
