what a difference a day makes

When Caitlin was at the farm on Sunday we hung a painting of a peony that she had painted on the gate.  On Monday I took this picture of it.


In this picture most of the snow is gone.  In fact there were still a few of the bigger drifts remaining but most of the yard was brown grass.  Spring appeared to be on its way.  Then on Tuesday I took this picture.






This was after the first wave of snow came thru but before the second wave had started.  We were predicted to get 6-12 inches and I think that we were closer to 6 in most of the yard, less in some areas but not the 12 that was possible.  Wednesday is predicted to be 40, Thursday 50 and Friday 40 again so I have a feeling we may melt a good part of this and it will only be a slight blip in our progress toward spring.  Thursday is the first day of spring after all.
