Sunday gray.......


I put in a forty hour week this week as a sub,  so I did get a chance to snap a shot of this magnolia tree in front of the building.  You can also see the present stage of our dirt and snow.



It is not a pretty sight with the trash and the dirt on top of the melting drift.  I took this shot from out of my window in the classroom.



Guest photographer,  student Tomiko Ford.,  took this photo which gives us a view of the sky as the snow melts.  Today though, early morning,  we had thunderstorms.  We sit on the edge of  spring and winter as forty miles or more north of us they are having snow.  The cold is staying in northern Iowa with a winter storm advisory going on up there.

Have a good Sunday and thanks for stopping by........

Wow, you had a full week. I know you'll be glad to finally see the end of winter with all its snow and bitter cold.

Pretty soon you'll be able to be out puttering in your gardens doing outdoor projects.

We have very gray skies and lots of hard wind today...and little bits of snow here and there blowing about....no spring here for at least 8 more weeks...but at least we are on the downside of winter!
