Our snowy backyard - no April Foolin'

This was our backyard this morning.  The snow off the back porch is still so deep that it is higher than the level of the porch.  There should be two steps down to the backyard.  Granted, this is snow that has fallen off the roof, but still.  The sun is shining this afternoon and it is a sweltering 47 F, so some of this snow should melt. 

We are ready for spring.  Last night Alistair was drawing up plans for finishing the playhouse (and the garage for his dump truck that he wants to build).
