This Was the Worst of It

Not a bad winter at all.
We got snow like this only twice, as compared to weeks of it last year.
So I was glad I captured these pictures, because it was actually melted off by the next day.  Thank heavens we hadn't planted the bulk of our garden yet - only the onions and the potatoes haven't even come up yet.  Our poor chickens are walking around in 2 inches of mud though in their coop.  I feel bad for them.
