It Snowed Last Night

It snowed last night and left us with 4 inches of the white stuff.  The remainder of the week is suppossed to sunny and warmer so the snow won't last more than today.

I keep looking out the window and imaging what the yard will look like in a few more months, lush and green.

Last week I put together my list of TO DO's and my list of TA DA's (completed) to help keep me on track.
