Just when we think the last of the snow has fallen, we get another one. The good thing now, I guess, is that it is much warmer so even when the snow sticks, it doesn't stick for very long.
This morning I awoke to snow falling and a white landscape. It soon turned to rain. Then the sun tried to poke through, but not quite. Small hail fell for a while, and then it all stopped. Early afternoon it started out with what looked like small hail again -- it resembled the appearance and consistency of little chunks of feta cheese. Anyway, this stuff fell for quite a while. I took Shelley over for her piano lesson and watched the stuff falling become more like snow. While driving there the visibility was quite poor. It continued falling through the lesson and all the way back. Mid to later afternoon the sun finally won out, though sleet continued sporadically.
Rain, shine, snow, sleet, or hail, Amy was outside doing some gardening. The bed you see in the photo was cleaned up all by herself. Last summer it was full of weeds. Now it is looking quite good and ready for planting. Amy moved the rhododendron that was at the far end of the bed. I helped drag the plant to the new location, though she did all the rest -- digging it up and digging a new spot for it -- by herself.
While waiting for Shelley's lesson to finish, I went out next to the church and photographed trees, branches, and moss with snow on them. After getting back, once the sun started to come out, I went down to the Narrows to see if there was anything of interest.
