The weather outside is frightful

April 25th. Only eight more months 'til Christmas but you'd never guess that here in Vermillion. Why? Because it's snowing something frightful outside right now. We don't have to wait for December. But oh well, since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Fletcher has mixed feelings about this unexpected climate change. Here he is contemplating all that he sees (which isn't much given the low visibility) in the front yard. Audrey is nearby, rolling in the snow and wondering why I haven't gotten the soccer ball out.

One of the native Vermillionites assured me that spring will arrive soon. Probably next Thursday and Friday. Operative word and. Then we'll toggle right into summer. As I said before, glad we didn't move here for the weather.

That was a little odd - one of the school groups at the River Day gathering in the armory had to leave early on Friday because of the snowstorm, and then on Saturday all the lawn-heads in our neighborhood were out with their mowers.
