"Happy Good Friday"

In the end, the snow the forecasters predicted did actually fall, but only for about an hour. Coworkers brought it to my attention around 4:30 yesterday, but by the time I reached Rogers Park, it was gone. Lovely while it lasted, though. Usually by the time it starts to snow the grass is yellowed and dying, but it was a fresh spring green in most places, which produced a beautiful contrast. I was bemused to see so many complaints given what a mild winter we had. We had snow on the same date two years ago (which also melted off in short order) and I remember it lasting into May before.

We have characteristically modest plans for Easter. The Old Man is going to pick up a bit of lamb and maybe we'll invite Nuphy over or something. ladytiamat is in town and it looks like I'll have to head down to the Inner Darkness of Hyde Park for a glimpse. I had Fabulous Gay Plans for the day, but they were tentative and likely to be sidelined in favour of gardening anyway. (There's a whole lot of wood to bury and I think the condomates are getting impatient.) I guess I should dye some eggs.
