Snow and Spring

Warm weather has reached my part of upstate New York.  Considering that it was snowing last weekend, it's more than welcome.

Just in case you are wondering what a May snowfall looks like, here are some views.  Seeds are planted in two of these pots and pansies and violas in the third.  None were harmed.

There was enough to cling to shrubs. (those spots to the right are snow falling)
A snow squall coming in (it looks like fog in the distance)


Another flower planter.

My back yard, complete with compost bin.  It's shady back there so it isn't suitable for a garden.

Right now, eight days later, it's nearly 80 degrees, and I think we've turned the corner.  Spring at last!  I spent part of today planting planters, while spouse did other chores, including planting some cucumbers.

It's hard to stay positive sometimes, especially with a lot of what is happening on social media.  It's going to be a rough next few months; we can't get away from that.  But we must hope better times are coming.  A week after the snow, a tree in my front yard reminded me of that.

We are all in this.
