Sunday Snow...Who Put Phil In Charge?

My ground hog At The Farm did not see her shadow since it snowed all day!  Late or early spring?

 As the big flakes fell

Cardinals were out in force

sitting in the pruned fig tree

waiting to steal dog food.

Sunday

Monday

Jill, our ground hog, says an early spring

and you know women are always right!

Morning update!

Jill may be hormonal.

This is a 9AM...another storm!

Wishing everyone a short winter.
