Sunrise Surprise

As I have mentioned, most days the sky over Maple Lake has been heavy and grey.  Low cloud cover has been bringing many snowy days.

This morning, though, on what seemed to be just another drab day, I was surprised to see a perfect pink sky over breakfast.

How appropriate for Valentine's Day.

The rest of the day was snowy, but the pink morning was lovely.

These Grey Days

Here's the problem with an early blast of summer in March - when the weather settles down again into normalcy,  it can suck the life right out of you.  It's grey, it's cold, it's blah.  This morning there wasn't even a hint of colour on the horizon.

Today's high is forecasted to be 6C, and when we awoke it was hovering around 0.  We went out for a quick walk and it started snowing.  We were not impressed.

All of this is part of normal end of March weather, I guess, but I don't have to be thrilled with it. 

I'm desperate to get outside for walk and hikes (my husband just told me about a beaver pond his dad found in the woods behind his house), but the biting wind and rain and snow keeps us indoors - at least for today.
