Snowy Thursday


Good morning! I awoke at 5:30 a.m. to light snow. I must say that when it's almost the middle of April, I would rather see rain than snow. It is a bit disappointing, but realize when you live this far north (only 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle), you can get snow well into May and early June. It just goes with the territory!


As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the Aurora Borealis was out on Monday night. I missed the peak of it, but the above picture was posted in our local newspaper from Monday night's spectacular show!
