Ridiculous!

Ok, I know snow in April is an oddity. It might be expected, or even desired in some places (ski resorts, for instance). But to have three inches of this crystaline precipitation pile up over the new ryegrass seed in my freshly-tilled garden plot on April 14th is RIDICULOUS! Here is a photo of my garden at 2:00 pm on Saturday. The next photo is just an hour later! And it is still coming down - what I would call heavy snow. I guess I should just throw out the calendar and let Mother Nature continue to dictate, willy-nilly, when spring (i.e. planting time) actually arrives in northern Indiana. After 30 years of trying to understand her, cajole her, appease her, bend her to our will, you would think I would know better than to try to out-guess her. Oh, well, if life gives you snow, make snowcones!
