What a difference a day/year makes! Is it Spring yet?

We had sunshine yesterday, April 16th, after 11 days of no sun,  and looks like we may not see the sun again for a few days.  The moisture is good because we need it, but because of the temps, not a speck of green, except for a strawberry plant(photo right)

 April 14-snow-yikes!
 
Last Year 2012- April 11th!!!

April 14th!! 2013, I think I'm going to cry now.

  
 Variety of seedlings: marigolds, greens, swiss chard, perennials.

Lots and lots of tomatoes and peppers

Bunny Tails Grasses



Super Sweet melon from last year's plant that sprouted on its own- don't know what kind it is, but it was very good.  Hope this one produces!

Had a surprise visit today, April 17th, hundreds of robins in our cul de sac and nearby park.  It felt like a scene from Hitchcock's "The Birds", but a more pleasant sight and song.
These are just a few that landed in and under our crab apple.  They were all gone in a few hours.  We've had a couple here since two weeks ago, so I hope they stick around.
So, I'm just hanging in there until the sun/spring returns!
