Wow....it continues to rain and the snow is melting quickly. Our side of the street always maintains the last of the snow in our front yard since it faces north so we have to wait the longest to have it all disappear. It will remind us for a while yet that we had lots of snow this winter, but the most distinctive trait of the winter was the fact that it began early. We are all awaiting Spring with such excitement and that hinges directly on the fact that our snowfall began in November and never seemed to stop. We had several large storms that reminded us frequently of the power of the winter and its snow. But as quick as it arrived, it now is slowly being melted by the rain.

We are on the road today to Toronto for some shopping, so rain as opposed to snow allows for better driving conditions......and that's a good thing ......more later.
