The war between spring and winter

 










If there's one thing we have come to expect, it's April will always carry elements of winter. Case and point: The cold, snow and rain in first week of a traditionally spring-like month, has displayed no signs of warmth or growth. However, next week promises the opposite, with higher temperatures on the way.

Every year, it is a mixed bag of precipitation that can be down-right miserable and unappealing to out-door-types, longing to get into gardens or general lawn clean up. Yet, if you'd consulted the Farmer's Almanac long before any weather models were made public, you would have seen the same information---cold, rain, snow---in the forecast.

Patience is the key as the days tick by and the sun finally appears (or doesn't with the upcoming eclipse.) You'll be gardening in no time, and cursing your lawn mower, but you need to wait for the war to end and spring to reign victorious as it always does.
