so much not much...
after last week's running around, this week has been very quiet. All rehearsals cancelled for the week (no school means school buildings aren't open for non-students after hours so there's no rehearsal space), no concerts to usher. (There is one concert this week, but I'm very much not interested in it -- if I got paid to usher, I might go, but as it is? nah.)
Monday I got into the yard and did some raking. There's still so much to do, but at least the mess under the willow tree has been tamed a bit. Next, I need to collect branches from under the oaks, and cut back stems in the E garden. The daffodils in the NW garden are blooming -- I wish we'd get some sun so they'd be really pretty! The tiny irises in the E garden bloomed last week, just in time to get buried by the snow on Friday. They're not as cold-hardy as the daffs, so the flowers are gone, although the leaves are still pretty healthy.
We got a lot of rain and wind yesterday (Tuesday) and today it's chilly and damp.

We are not on the great plains, as much as at the intersection of three biomes: the prairie, the Big Woods, and the northern pineries. Here's nice map and a much more complex one.
There's little in the way of "giant bodies of water providing modulating effects on the weather," for sure.
