Yes it looks dreadful still. I cant imagine if i am living with these kind of winters, especially because i suddenly have an allergy for the sudden changes in temperature. From that picture of your yard, how many days more before you can start gardening again? thanks…Andrea

Body and mind can continue to duke it out a few more days, I guess. I’m having the same issue, only for me it’s sickness preventing me from getting outside and planting on my careful schedule! Argh… :(

I think that we had the same sprinkle – I told myself it was a case over mind over matter but it does not work like that does it :)

Brilliant EG! Body and Mind are often opposite here too. And you have stated it perfectly, the snow is pretty but not welcome. We are used to it melting right away, and we are on day five of the same stuff still on the north facing slope. The sun does not hit and melt it like it should with above freezing temps. Even the rain is not piercing the tough crust of ice. Arghh. I believe Mind and Body have come together for that utterance.

Yes Body wants to stay in cuddled up and warm whereas, Mind is impatient and wants excitement. I think Body should win this round. You really should try to keep Mind under a bit more control, for a few more week yet anyway.

All I can think of is “We interrupt the regularly scheduled programming (Spring) for a bit of winter. Stay tuned for more buds and flowers after this brief snow storm…” I feel the same way with the 6 inches of snow we got. But it’s okay. I can picture all the flowers safe and sound under their blanket of white, just like yours.

I love your sense of humour. And can completely relate. Although it’s frigid here, we’re also buried in snow so body and mind both get to stay inside, drink tea or cocoa, and plan for the day when spring finds us. Which will be in about mid-May.
Thanks also for coming by and leaving a thoughtful comment in the discourse about blog encouragement. You’re so right about comments reciprocating comments, at least many times that’s the case. Ironically, I put out a discussion and get snowed under with work, but I’m working on a couple of followup posts.

Yeah, body and mind used to one inseparable entity and over the years, the two go separate ways…. hmmm. The weather over here is bright sunny day with regular rainfall late evening… ~bangchik
