Forget that lion and lamb stuff - this March flew in like a puddle-loving duck and toddled away in weather only a penguin could love. Now April, my yard is again afloat and falling temps tonight could lay a thin lid of ice on my pond. Oh - and then we are expecting rain every day for the rest of the week.
Besides the pond, which is supposed to be there, I have a great lake wannabe under the mulberry tree and a growing body of muddy water near the patio behind the garage. I'm expecting migrating geese to land any time now. My plan is to declare my back garden a wetlands and apply for a Federal grant. After that, all I need is signage.

About Me
- Jan C. Snow
- Since 1984, my light commentary, Marginal Considerations, has been a feature of Weekend Radio. Moving into the 21st century (yeah, I know - a decade late and more than a dollar short), it may be time to explore the format known as "the blog." (Still on the radio, BTW.) I am the author of A Natural History of Socks, illustrated by the late Eric May, You May Already Be a Winner (and other marginal considerations) and The Nonexistence of Rutabagas, plus maybe 1K features, essays, book and arts reviews in newspapers and magazines nearly everywhere, except perhaps Kansas. I live on Lake Erie one city to the west of Cleveland with too many musical instruments, several large plants and no cats. My front door is purple. I collect dust, take up space and burn fossil fuel. I kayak, knit, hike, sing, canoe, write choral music and play hammered dulcimer, but not all at the same time. I read too much and don't write enough, but what's new?
Our yard is in similar straights. Ah...Cleveland.
