It has been quite a winter here. So much snow all at once (which made for some great skiing!) and cold temps. We've had a bit of thawing going on and it's been nice seeing the sidewalks again. It's also been interesting seeing what's been hidden by the snow. There are quite a few street signs that are askew from the plows hitting them. Bushes and plants that were in snow taller than them are finally visible again, but looking a bit worse for wear. My car floor mats seem to contain about 20 pounds of sand.
But with the warmer temps and the day light getting more plentiful, it does seem a corner has been turned. Judging by the events of the current news, it seems that more than just me has turned a corner. The whole world seems a bit up in arms. I am still so very impressed by Egypt and the protests that so quickly shook up 30 years of oppression into a new world order. Of course Tunisia started the revolution ball rolling and now Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Wisconsin. It seems people have had enough.
And now with earthquake in New Zealand and earthquake, tsunami and potential nuclear disaster in Japan apparently Mother Nature has had enough too.
