Although it is slowly warming up, and the birds are flying up from further south, we are still getting snow. The storms aren't big, mostly dustings - and we got about an inch yesterday, after heavy rains on Thursday (the garage did get some water, but not nearly what I got last year, and not entering the basement, so I am good.
Pictures taken yesterday and today of the snow pack remaining.
In my area, a big flock of redwing blackbirds arrived about 2 weeks ago and they have hung around. I can hear/see them in the trees in the trees in back, and to the side of my house. Pictures of other birds at the feeder a couple of weeks ago (3-7-15).
It is supposed to get in the 40's this coming week, but even then Easter egg hunts next week may be in the snow.
We're still getting dustings too. Though slowly slowly more and more of the ground is becoming visible!

OTOH: Here in Kansas, it is quite warm for me to be working on the yard. I've planted some new bushes - 1 Ivory Halo Dogwood (at corner where pinons had been), 2 Coppertina Ninebarks (toward the porch from the Dogwood), 3 dwarf spireas (next to the Ninebarks), and 3 Little Devil Ninebarks (between living room window and yard). Still want to remove the huge sage (from which I've planted 3 or 4 offspring) from the corner that the porch makes with the steps and put in a small, hardy azalea or two. I'm slowly filling in the veggie spaces because I'm getting lazier and lazier when it comes to gardening in the heat of summer!

I had Coppertina Ninebarks at the old house. Also, several spireas. Unfortunately they are too big to try to dig out now.
Hey, nothing wrong with a nice shrub garden!

I remembered your having had ninebarks and how nice they looked in your photos. That's why I even noticed them - when I read their tags!
