April 6

April [SNOW] Showers...

It is currently 37 degrees. And snowing. And it's April 6.

Tonight's forecast calls for snow and 25 degrees. Did I mention it's April 6?

I would have posted a photo of the ground this morning, but I just couldn't bring myself to stand outside and photograph the ground with big, fat, wet snowflakes falling around me. Picture this: a muddy yard (from an entire day of rain yesterday), topped with snow. It's like a brownie sprinkled with powdered sugar -- only snow-covered mud doesn't give you the happy feeling a brownie sprinkled with powdered sugar does.

As we left the house this morning, Charlie made a disgruntled comment about it snowing in April. I one-upped him by telling him I remember it once snowed in May. He didn't seem all that impressed by this new information, but he looked a bit less bothered.

Of course, I reminded the boys, the weather forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is calling for sun and high-50s, which is much more seasonable.

Welcome to springtime in Indiana!

The first April after we moved back to Fort Lame(2007), it snowed enough that Kate, Tyler, Ethan and Chloe were outside building a snowman. Tyler was taking Spanish and named it Juanita. LOL!
