The Retreat of Spring

 Last week, spring showed up where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.

On an exercise walk Thursday, I saw snowdrops.  It was such a welcome sight.

 

I also saw crocuses (mine aren't blooming yet).  Sorry about the blurry photo.

Alas, it wasn't going to last.  This was our forecast for yesterday evening.  When it started, it was sleet, hitting noisily against our house.  I think all we got was sleet.

 

This morning this is what greeted us.  At least it got above freezing, the ice disappeared from the street (and, with a little help, the sidewalk) and in the afternoon, we took a one mile walk in those ice cold winds.

Well, it could have been worse.

Spring, please make up your mind soon!
