We want winter to be so over. But winter is going to be around for a while over.
We may have a winter storm on the way where I live in the Southern Tier of upstate New York on the way. We are already under a winter storm watch. Nothing like a March storm - I dread them more than winter storms. These storms can bring feet of wet, gloppy snow that brings tree downs.
Meanwhile, there are flood warning in 15 states. Weather gone wild? Can anyone deny something bad is happening with our weather?
Meanwhile, some years, we still have lots of snow on the ground, but not this year. Still, there isn't much blooming. There aren't signs of any bulbs coming up in my front yard yet. On the side, there have been daffodils peeking through the soil for the last month or so, but they are stuck in neutral.
But my good news is I have outdoor flowers. My white Lenten Rose has just opened blooms that have been waiting to open since January. Let's hope now that the flowers will survive if it snows.
Meanwhile, on my exercise walk, I saw this tree (not an ornamental) starting to bloom. Hard to see but they are small red flowers up there. And yet...a snow storm in the forecast.
Spring, where art thou?
I'm in San Antonio where we've had a cold and rainy winter. That much rain is unusual for us but good for the acquifers underground that feed our water supply. Funny you've posted this because last night I dreamt that everyone's crepe myrtle trees were in bloom but mine... In reality I see tiny buds on mine and they all have yet to bloom. I'm dreaming about yards because I just had grass put in this week in the backyard after two years of mud and puppies. Hope your spring comes quickly and is beautiful. xoxox, B
ReplyDeleteSorry about your winter storm watch. It's spring now, didn't the weather people get the memo? Hope warmer temperatures and more blooms are headed your way soon.
ReplyDeleteOne last blast of winter? We had hail yesterday. We never get hail.
ReplyDeleteBlooms and snow, an interesting mix....
ReplyDeleteIt’s raining in NYC today. We’re supposed to get wind and rain for the next two days. Ugh.
Things are looking spring like in the south. I even have a flower blooming in my yard. Let's just hope Old Man Winter doesn't come back to trample her.
ReplyDeleteMarch here, too. I'm not sure whether snow or rain will be more unwelcome tonight & tomorrow, just hope we don't get much of either--had far too much already. But we *have* enjoyed just-right weather for Prunus spp. and forsythia blossoms to stay fuller and prettier longer than usual, already. A whole *week* of cherry blossoms!
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about spring.
