Spring In Minnesota, You Know

It is a combo of spring, summer, fall, and snow

By Denise E LindquistPublished about 7 hours ago 1 min read
Snow on the morning of April 2, 2026, in Minnesota. Hammock holder was already to be set up on the left. Authors photo.

Oh no! It is snowing

The wind is blowing

It is cold then

Not sure when

snow will leave us

We won't fuss

As we are used to this

I have some bliss

It shouldn't stay

It really is just for today!

~

I said, I'm writing about snow

He responded, "What about crow?"

The robins and crows are no

where to be seen today, so

they are hiding for a day

They were eating here yesterday,

~

No snow tomorrow, says the weatherbug

If he were real, I would give him a hug!

Bike in the carport ready to ride. Authors photo.

Our bikes are ready to ride

Ready to go and still have to hide

The riders don't ride well

in a snowstorm, I tell

Been there and done that

In a neighboring state, and sat

most of it out, but there was a bit

of it that we experienced. Shit

was what I said the whole time

Not doing that again, it was a crime.

Grilling season is not here just yet. Author's photo.

We won't be grilling this Easter day

It is supposed to snow all of today

This is only the start of it

I don't like any bit

of this, but I will survive

and even thrive

It makes me stronger

I've been told louder

too, as I can surely express

my displeasure and distress.

~

Enjoy your day

I surely will on this Thursday!

    We have to make good use of whatever comes our way. We have already seen two heatwaves. Then it turns chilly, and rainy. Unpredictable.
