March is definitely out like a lion

It's hard to believe that April is just around the corner, yet this is what it looked like around here earlier this week. It was mostly ice with a little bit of snow mixed in, and then the temps didn't get above freezing for several days so it refused to leave!

Absolutely everything was covered in about 3/4 inch of ice. The power lines and tree limbs all sagged very sadly. It was absolutely beautiful as the sun shone through it though. It was kind of like living in Narnia.... the trees, grass, shrubs all looked like they were made of glass.

Thankfully as of today most of this frigid reminder of winter has melted. There is still some lingering ice and snow in the parts of the yard that are shaded from sun all day. March came in like a lamb and made sure to go out like a lion. Even this poor robin thought it was ridiculous. It ran around in this grassy spot next to the house really unsure of what the heck was going on and why it was here if winter wasn't over!
