The Shed Notebook: Glimmers of Spring

In north Idaho spring is a funny season. There are days you can enjoy an hour of glorious sunshine, but then have to run back in the house and turn up the heat. There are days you think it will work to begin garden work . Guess what? It snows . Today the sun shone, it rained, it hailed, the wind blew, and then the day ended with blue sky. See what I mean?

It is a good thing I can enjoy this fickle season inside The Shed. Today was a good day to spring it up and , even if the heater was blasting inside, I felt glimmers of spring. At least if it snows tomorrow, it will cover up the piles of debris I couldn't clean up today.

Another sure thing about spring in north Idaho. The debris, dead leaves, doggie doo, weeds, and spent flowers from last summer don't go anywhere. The wind doesn't even carry them away.

Darn.
