Day 176: It came down hard yesterday afternoon, melting as soon as it touched the ground as April snows are wont to do in the Pacific Northwest. They're all bluff and bluster, little tantrums Mother Nature throws when she realizes she's going to be forced to let go of winter's chill and give way to the pleas of gardeners who want to work the soil. She can't hold out against us forever! We can laugh at her hissy fits even when they powder our mornings with frost. And sure enough, following this snit of snow, our patron nodded off under a ray of sun and when again she woke, all trace of it was gone.
