Yesterday, I posted a pic of April snow. Before going to bed, I snapped another shot of the scene.

This morning I woke to discover a fluffy layer of snow covering the entire neighborhood. I want to go back into hibernation and wake when it’s over. Okay?

I think someone failed to issue the memo. It is April. We’ve already had a snowy week, and now were in the second week. More to come, but the long-term outlook is for warmer air and clearer skies. Okay bring it on. I can stand it.
Today is our younger son’s birthday. Here’s wishing you all the best, Scott.

Joan H Young at book signing
I met Joan several years ago online, mostly because we are both bloggers from Michigan. I’ve enjoyed reading her posts on My Quality Day as they contain a lot of outdoor pix and, sometimes, some scientific info about the featured plant or animal.
Joan, aka Shark or Sharkey, is giving away this beautiful window pane afghan:
You can read more about the giveaway here: Shark Bytes and Tales. While you are there you can read more about Joan and her published works.
The first book by Joan that I read was North Country Cache. This is her story of hiking the entire North Country Trail. Would You Dare? is a devotional that comprises twelve compact biographies of Christians who have dared. I found that very inspirational.
My favorite is the Dead Mule Swamp Mysteries this series is available at Smashwords, or Amazon. You can also find it and more at Barnes and Noble.
Joan writes in an easy-to-read style. I find her books tend to draw me in and I lose myself in the tale. I urge you to check it out. If you have a Nook or Kindle, The Hollow Tree at Dead Mule Swamp is available for free download.
It is not to late to win that afghan for your very own. Check it out.
Fluffy flakes falling
Gently they float down to earth
Where they melt away
Saturday, the snow began to fall. Large flakes hit the ground and soon disappeared. What would you expect from snow in April?
Snow fall intensified. Certainly it won’t accumulate–but it did.
Saturday evening, the sun set on a snow-covered scene. Sunday, it slowly went away, leaving the earth green once again.
