Foom!!

The hovel a couple of hovels up the street from our hovel now sports blooming daffodils along the south foundation. Those buds remained tightly closed during yesterday afternoon's walk. Believe me, we would have noticed.

Spring can be an explosive event up here in the subarctic. Tattered remnants of snow yet lurk in our side and back yards.

Meanwhile, rain has returned in fits and starts. We'll see if the state Emergency Management folks can find another flood emergency to manage, what with frozen or saturated ground and ice jams and all.
