Another April Fools Joke: Snow!
Above is a picture of the super cool rain gauge we bought last weekend. Notice that the water it's measuring is not in the liquid form, but some sort of solid form. That's right, it's snow. Just a little bit. But it still hasn't warmed up. My tulips, or at least the top few inches, seem to be holding on, but it's downright depressing to see my neighbors beautiful garden draped in blue tarps. I just hope his delicate daffodils are able to hang on another week, because we won't be seeing warm temperatures until Friday. At the In-Laws this morning, Husband saw a flock of geese come in for a landing on a pond, only to slid across the thin layer of fresh ice before slowing down and breaking through. Ka-thunk.
So, it's been cold, and I've gone back to cooking comfort food instead of playing with the new spring flavors. We did the classic spaghetti and meatballs, homemade pizzas wtih plenty of mushrooms, and a new recipe from CL called Pork Tenderloin wtih Caribbean Nut Sauce. Reminesant of Pad Thai, but with plenty of sweated red onion. There's fresh asparagus in the grocery stores, and I gave in and bought some to serve with a steak tomorrow. As for growing anything around here, though, we'll stick with the pine trees.
The forecast for the next few days includes more of the same. Snow on Tuesday again. At least the sun has been out.
