Snow bet on skiing next weekend

I was so intent on taking a picture of skiing in mud
I missed Emily going to the car!


The snow is going, going.
There is one large mud patch on the north slope,
for "advanced" skiers. 


And back at home,
Here is the bed of daffs and tulips.


Anemone!
The wooly thyme seems pleased to be out from under snow,
and that fat bulb probably is a colchium. 
No more garden until we clean it up.
This week I'll tell you about going toe to toe with the Park.
I don't know who will blink first.

    It appears as though spring is coming to visit you.

    So nice to see the earth again... even if it is so muddy. Was this the last weekend for the skiers?

    Lots of daffs and tulips coming up. my daffs disappeared altogether. People picked the flowers as they bloomed and the bulbs just vanished. I dug around a bit but couldn't find a single one. It will be time to plant my bulbs soon.

    Your header surely proves that your snow has moved on to colder places. Your garden debris photo is cute -- some squirrels had a riotous time in your yard breaking up their dinner table after enjoying all those acorns which meant they left those now empty shells. Enjoy your spring garden! -- barbara.

    Cleaning up in the garden - don't mention it - our garden after winter is in an awful mess and at present it is just too cold to venture out there although all the snow is gone.

    You must have a few oak trees around given the number of acorns in your last picture.

    It's always amazing to me just how quickly the snow can melt. I'm sure you are glad to see the end of snow in your area.

    I was starting to think your snow would never depart! I am glad you are seeing the green shoots at last.

    It has been a disappointing spring with all the overcast days but this week the sun has fought bravely out by mid-day. Today though I saw that things are going to bust into bloom soon, other than the trees that is. Re you and the park...I rather imagine they had a nervous tic or two by the time you were through with them.
