This Should Be Spring

I should be walking through green grass just starting to grow,
I should be hearing birds sing old songs that they know,
I shouldn't be trudging through melting snow,
I shouldn't be slipping on ice and... just, NO.

This should be spring.
How disappointing.

I took these pictures almost exactly one year ago:

Ah, how I miss the sweet air of spring. But alas and alack, spring has not sprung where I am from.

:P I'm not discontent, I'm just yearning for the lovely change of seasons that is supposed to happen about now. 

See ya soon raccoon:)

 

PS: As I am writing this, it has started to lightly snow.

Seriously? It is already lightly covering the porch. It is lightly pretty, but I would rather the light sun, lightly lighting the grass. That's a little light humor for ya;)

The Highest Mountain In Otter Tail County!

Minnesota is fairly flat but there are some hills. These pics were taken on top of the highest one in Otter Tail County: Inspiration Peak. It is four hundred feet up and you can literally see for miles around it. I found, once again:), that my camera can't NEARLY capture the grandness of God's beauty.

Inspiration Peak, MN

Little brother running the last few feet to the top:)   It was a cloudy day; started to shower a wee bit on our way back down. I think it adds more "mood" to the pics.
That all for now folks!
