The Glory of Spring

As is my usual custom, I uploaded Monday’s post on Sunday and set it to post at 4 AM Eastern Time. For that reason the photo of the crocus flowers seemed appropriate at the time. However, Monday morning looked like:


There was already snow on the ground from over night. As I finished breakfast, it was coming down in huge flakes. It’s not unusual for us to have snow in the first half of April. The good news is that the snow doesn’t last. And that’s the way it was on Monday. After lunch the snow was gone.


The snow drops (above) are beginning to open. I’ve been watching them everyday, but it has remained cool — even for this time of year. Perhaps that’s why they’ve been slow in opening. Nevertheless, spring is winning.


I snapped this pic after 7 PM on Monday. (This time of year, it stays light here until after 8:30 PM.) The daffodils are beginning to open. They had been peeking for almost a week, but now they are opening.

Believe it Lin. Spring is really coming! You’ll probably want to have coffee with your bratwurst at the ballgame on Sunday.

When I see Reggie Girl‘s pictures from Georgia and Jackie‘s shots from Oklahoma, I can see that your growing season is well underway.

  2. NO! No! No! I don’t care how cold it is–you cannot have coffee with anything at the ballpark. I will not drink it if it pours. I will not drink it if they score. I will not drink it for the Kiss cam. I will not drink coffee Sam I am!

    Oh, it may just get up into the sixties on Sunday. 🙂 Balmy!

  3. Spring indeed has come as seen in your beautiful pictures. Happy Easter in advance!

  4. I love the Snow Drops and the Daffodil’s will be lovely when they open in all of their glory!!
