When's Spring?

I've had quite a few inquiries as to when our snow melts and it's Spring. This gave me an excuse to spend a good part of my day going through photos to show you.

Dad, Lucas, Mom and Olivia at home. See how our snow lasts a bit longer than in town.

So there you have it. Most of the snow is gone in town by mid-April, and by the beginning of May it will be gone at my house. The danger of frost will not pass until after the first week of June so we can't plant outside until then.
