the remaking of a kitchen

i know it's not really too late for snow, but it feels like it's too late for snow. we have been told to expect 2-4 inches overnight and the possibility of another 1-3 inches tomorrow. then we were told that the snow wouldn't be any closer than about 30 miles south of us. i got a call around 5 from friends about 35 miles south with whom i planned to bead tomorrow. the word was that the snow had started there and we should reschedule for next week. that was a relief as i had begun a fret routine as to whether i should attempt the drive in the morning or not.
it has been spitting snow off and on all day, and toward evening it has been coming down regularly, but not sticking to anything.....just appearing on the ground and deck as if we were receiving rain. just recently though, i noticed that the lawn is getting white. i doubt if we get the previously predicted inches, but the rain is welcome. the lawn and garden will appreciate it. we are still just in the budding phase with trees, a few protected very early bulbs are blooming and some hosta are showing points of leaves above ground. i guess it's lucky that fruit and nut trees are not blooming, and bulbs are later as they might not survive the cold weather we've been having.
all this is reminding me of a few craftsmen at regency shows that occurred on snowy weekends in april. sigh.
