Six Inches......

It is a blue sky day in Port Washington with a light wind. It's been beautiful to walk Fenway along the lake. Our calendar says its spring but for us, along the lakefront, it's still pre-spring. Our trees and bushes are all basically brown and grey. I haven't spotted a flower poking up anywhere while friends just west of us have crocus and other blooms popping. My friend in Maryland says her yard is full of flowers. I try not to be overly jealous.

Walking today I spotted these soon-to-be-leaves. The years we spent living in New Jersey and Delaware introduced us to springs that lasted four to six weeks.....it was a real season before the heat of summer. But here in Wisconsin spring is just a brief tease.

Tomorrow, Easter Sunday, the meteorologists say parts of Wisconsin might get over six inches of snow and Monday may boast wind gusts up to 50 mph.

Ah life in Wisconsin....spring comes on a Wednesday.....don't miss it.
