As the huge, dirty, gray, snow/ice mounds melt, now we're getting floods. Nothing to set off floods better than lots of snow, followed by a crazy thunderstorm; complete w/thunder, wild lightening & buckets of rain. A couple of parks I passed today were completely underground. It rained and left big blocks of snow & the poor, beaten down grass. This time of year gets really ugly; no 'pretty' snow to hide everything in white, puffy, lumps. Only slush, mud, sticks, tree branches, dog poop in the dog-run - previously hid (ewwww....) grays, browns, dirt, water and... did I say mud?I had to go back into the archives from '09 and dig out some blasts of color to keep my sanity. Tomorrow is March 1st already. Soon, these pictures will be a reality again. Aaahhh...
Thinking of the empty lot behind me to make a garden also gets me thru the weather crap. I get overwhelmed w/the possibilities. I'm sure I'll over-do. I can't wait! :-)
Pictures by: me :-]
