Yesterday might have been Friday the Thirteenth, but it was the first warm and sunny day we had had since the Tigers home opener! It was a glorious spring day!
Today we were back to being chilly and cloudy and having snow showers and winter mix. It feels like spring will never truly get here, though the yard is covered with blooming naturalized Siberian squill, striped squill, and grape hyacinths. 
Dan and Steven went to a wrestling tournament in Ida, and I stayed home. I got a good sleep, and took the dog out for a very long walk despite the cold. 
When the guys got home, we put in a few hours of yard work, until the snow showers started and pushed us back inside. We trimmed back our raspberry and blackberry bushes to knee height- something you are supposed to do the first week of April, but the weather has been hardly conducive. We also gathered downed twigs and branches and broke them down to lengths short enough to fit inside the fireplace. We brought in two wheel barrows full to burn. We are burning some right now, in fact! 
We have spent the evening watching nature documentaries and eating pizza. Thankfully, Steven's soccer game tonight was cancelled - given the weather I am so happy about that!
