This was the view from my back door this morning:
I’m all for a good snow shower in, say, JANUARY. I enjoy one or two snow falls per year; and I only enjoy them until the snow gets dirty, the cocoa runs out, or we lose a glove. Digging out the snow pants was not part of my plan this morning. Playing in the snow provides me with serious job security though. I am amazed by how many pairs of socks, gloves, and pants that need to be washed after playing in the white stuff.
A few years ago, my mother-in-law dug up one of her peonies and gave it to me. I have carefully moved it from house to house. It has NEVER bloomed for me. So, when we moved from The City to Mayberry, I left it behind. Our new yard has at least 5. They all have buds on them. Do you think they will actually bloom after all this cold? I think I am doomed to flower-less peonies…
Oh, sweet camellia, will you ever be the same? Thank you for your valiant effort.
As an Oregonian, I fully expect rain until July 5th; but snow after spring break….not so much.
