The flowers have been blooming, everything is turning green and today I woke up to snow. Yes, you heard me, I said snow. That wicked four letter word. Fortunately, it didn't last and it was gone by ten o'clock.



I know this is not a very good picture, but maybe you can see the white snow contrasting with the greens of spring. I just snapped a quick pic of it. It was much too cold to be out barefoot and in short and a tank.

Saturday, I took some great pictures of flowers.





My Rhododendron Bush.




The neighbors tulips, mine haven't bloomed yet.


My forsythia bush.

I guess, April is playing an April Fools joke on us or is it just me? It is supposed to get warmer tomorrow and the rest of the week. I hope so, because I want to get outside and write.-Rita

The forsythia is getting ready to bloom in full. Another sign that spring is here. The most important sign these last couple of days has been the warm days. It has been in the 50's and the 60's. I have been taking the dogs around the yard to spy the flowers poking their heads out of the ground. The crocuses are out and the hyacinths are up and about to bloom. Sorry to say that I don't have any daffodils in my yard. Maybe, I'll plant some this fall.

Anyway, there are signs of spring everywhere I look. The sky is filled with song. Even the creaking of a Black and White Creeper. Children have added their shouts to the songs. And I have been walking, though not always by choice.
