Covered Crocus - 84/365

It's almost Easter AND it's almost April but we were under yet another Winter Weather Advisory today! We woke up to snow covered everything and most of the schools were closed. It was cold, but not cold for a winter storm, so my mom, Reagan and I went out to play in the snow! 
We headed down to Mill Creek Park near the Daffodil meadow to see if any Crocus were popping up amongst the snow. We saw so many beautiful ones last year in that same spot but no such luck. We then headed down to the Lily Pond to check out some ducks. We took a nice stroll around the whole pond and saw a bunch of geese. They seemed really friendly today. There were two that literally "followed" us around the whole pond. They would come up right to the water's edge and just look at us. Reagan was in HEAVEN! She kept saying "What dat duck doin?" and "That duck see Reagan!" We finished up there and headed to Fellows Riverside Garden. We wanted to walk around the garden and hoped to check out the nature photography exhibit. We forgot they were closed on Monday, so we never got to see the photography, but we had a great walk around the garden. They have the nice brick path now and it was all cleared off. Reagan was having a ball bouncing in the slush piles. She stomped every slush ball she could find! 
We ended our afternoon at Gia's for some soup and salad to warm up. What a great little adventure we had trying to make the best of hopefully the LAST SNOW STORM of the winter!
 The photo of the day is a Crocus we did find peeking through the snow....
