What does April SNOW Bring???

This little guy is supposed to welcome us to spring. Instead, he is snow covered! Booooo Hisss
The storm that has hit most of the States blew in to NE PA Friday evening. We had rain off and on and very heavy at times all day Saturday and last night. We were expecting snow and were happy when we looked out this morning to see just rain. We also were visited again by the turkeys. I took pictures but they didn't turn out. Will try again tomorrow as it seems we are on their route. We went to breakfast and as we went, the rain was turning to snow. Most of the schools in our area are closed or delayed. Our school is closed. As we drove home the snow was sticking. It's now 10:30 and I just took these pictures. As you can see, it's doing more than just sticking.

This is the view out back. As you can see, we are snow covered. We have about 2 inches at this point.

On a more cheerful note, I thought I'd show you all "super bean". I decided to try planting seeds this year and planted beans and lettuce and some other things last week. I added a third and fourth tray Friday. In the above picture you can see the lettuce in the foreground and one bean making its way into the world. I planted two rows of beans - the top two - and this one bean was the first to show up.

And here it is this morning..... SUPER BEAN!!! This little sucker just keeps growing and has the first set of real leaves while the others just move on like normal beans. The roots are coming out of the pot and into the pots next to it so I'm going to have to transplant this thing soon. So, I guess there is hope that spring will come (sometime) and that we will eat string beans this summer.
I'll keep you posted!!!
