Feeling Rather Gypped

I have been feeling rather gypped lately. It is not quite Spring yet here in Milwaukee (I don’t care what the calendar says), but I can tell that it is getting close. It has been up in the low 50s a few days recently, although it’s still usually too cold out for t-shirts. One thing that is kind of fun about Milwaukee is that after the snow starts to melt and you can see some of the grey, muddy grass again, once there is a good rainfall or two, the grass is noticeably greener overnight. It is nice to look outside and see green instead of grey. The grass isn’t bright green yet, but it does look much better after the rain this week. But I have still been feeling kind of gypped – I have officially survived the second snowiest winter on record in Milwaukee history (I don’t think we had quite enough snowfall to break the record, did we?), and now we are going to move next month before we have barely anytime at all to enjoy the nice things about Spring and Summer in Milwaukee. Oh well. I guess we’ll just have to enjoy summer in Salt Lake.

Snow, again.

Snow, again. This storm was the day before the first day of spring (and two days before Easter). We had an Easter egg hunt in our living room again this year. We heard that this winter got the second most snow on record, ever, for Milwaukee. (We would need 13 more inches to make it the snowiest winter ever recorded in Milwaukee). And before this storm, the snow had just started to melt and we could see the little brown blades of grass and mud that had been covered in snow for months. Oh well. Hopefully spring will come before we move in May or June.
