Variable weather

[mtbc]

The snow is settling outside quite beautifully. I am glad that it didn't wait until after it is wholly dark. The weather has been curiously variable. On the one hand, there's been ice on the car's windshield a couple of mornings this week. On the other, on Sunday I wasn't wearing a sweater: I was barbecuing burgers in the back yard and eyeing the tree for a further pruning. I had turned the heating off but over the past few days it's been back on. The daffodils and tulips may have had a bit of a surprise. I wonder how people plant after the last frost without advance notice of when that is.
