No snow for us

We were on the back end of a storm that went through over night. At one point, around 01h00, I remember hearing some stiff wind outside. But I slept pretty well otherwise. We got some rain, but not a lot. North of us, however, and up into the Paris region, they got a few inches of snow.

The vineyards look dull and lifeless, but the grass is green.

I can feel the days starting to get longer now. I find myself looking out the windows, especially when there's some sun, thinking of all the things to do as the weather gets better. Like picking up fallen twigs, cleaning up flower beds, power-washing the deck, and planting seeds for the summer garden. I'm already looking forward to barbecuing again. Soon enough.
