Epilog #2 to has Spring Sprung?

This had better be the last epilog necessary this spring. After the snow had melted from our last two snowfalls, and Bob had raked almost the whole yard, we got 9.1 inches of snow April 25-26. He had put the snowblower away in the shed, but it wouldn't have been able to handle the wet, heavy snow anyway; so he did a lot of shoveling. 'Tis fortunate that he's in pretty darn good shape for an old geezer of 75, but he'd done a lot of shoveling the previous few weeks, plus the raking, plus had GOLFED a half dozen or so rounds.
His golf course has been closed for 3 days already, but he's hoping that it'll open Tuesday; the snow is almost gone and may disappear this very day. He usually gets in around 200 rounds of golf each season; now he may have to be satisfied with only 195 or so....

epilog re the Sprung Spring post

In the intervening week, we received 8 inches of snow, and Bemidji got TWO FEET of the winter-stretching stuff. It's mostly melted here in Moorhead (still very deep in the woods area of Bemidji), so one would think "that's it for snow 'til November," but we actually have a chance of snow around Friday, but prob. not to the extent of last Sunday.
It's wonderful to live where the weather is full of surprises....

Has Spring sprung?

Here in northwestern Minnesota on April 2, we still have a fair amount of snow (particularly in our front yard, which faces north), but overall, I think it's safe to say that there's more grass showing now than snow.
I'm curious as to conditions elsewhere amongst my "connections," i. e., is winter seriously saying goodbye where you are?
Bob is in his last 13 days of working on tax returns at EideBailly; it's just as well that his golf course hasn't opened yet, as it is a titch painful for him to be stuck in an office - cubicle, that is - when 18 holes beckon. More often than not, the two overlap, but he can get 8 hrs. in at the office and still have time to golf in the afternoon, since he's usually at work by 6-6:30.
I used to plant flowers along each of the four walls of our house, but have done less and less each year, 'til now we buy two large pots of healthy, well-developed geraniums to set either side of the front door and find that keeping those alive is all we can do.
The reason I'm posting is that I'd like folks to tell me their plans for the springtime, sending pictures if possible.
