Yesterday I took a picture of these "accidentally" planted daffodils at my dad's.
Many years ago my mother tossed a couple of pots of dead (she thought) daffodils over the embankment in their back yard. Wasn't she surprised when they eventually bloomed during a subsequent spring?! They've continued to bloom yearly ever since.
While in the back yard I also spotted this white violet plant growing up through a crack in concrete. When I see phenomenons like this it always reminds me we need to bloom where we're planted.
And then today, winter is back. The day began with alternating snow, rain, and sleet. By eleven it had turned to snow and continues to snow. It's predicted to end by 3 or 4 pm, but in the meantime, this is my view:

Dear Mrs. T:
ReplyDeleteThis is a senario I am all too familiar with living in Colorado for 22 years. We got the most snow every day in April and 2nd most in March. I recall many times just a dusting in the mornings in May. I loved your photos! I hope you are linking this!
Oh, I never thought of linking this, but I will if you think I should, Bernideen! Off to edit the post...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story about the daffodils that your mom tossed out :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your snow melts quickly. Here in the mountains we've been getting rain, snow, and hail all in the last 24 hours - what fun!
Happy hugs to you!
Oh, Stephanie, what wild weather! My son-in-law in NV sent me a snowy pic from his phone ... they've been getting it too.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the daffodil story. It's always fun to watch for them to appear each spring!
I guess, after seeing the foul weather across the country tonight, I will be grateful for the snow. It sure was depressing though.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Vee. The extremely foul weather others are getting should really put our bit of snow in perspective, shouldn't it? But you're right; snow in late April is downright depressing.
DeleteOh my goodness!! We turned on our AC for the first time today!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Arlene! It's such a contrast, isn't it? My two oldest grands are in GA visiting family on their April vacation. They're swimming and soaking up the sun. They sure picked a good week to go south.
DeleteSo enjoyed your posts of yesterday and today. What a contrast in weather from day to day. I almost feel guilty for the summer weather we have been having. Looking forward to some of that NH experience soon and seeing our dear friends.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you soon as well! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I get very little blogging time these days, but try to update once a week or so. This has been a great couple of days for things to blog about.
DeleteGood morning Mrs. T.,
ReplyDeleteI love the story of the daffodils! My, they are a glorious sight, aren't they? The white violet is a marvel! I have been told by a New Englander who used to come here every year that the Island and NE are very similar in weather patterns. It is very cold here these days and we're supposed to get flurries tonight and tomorrow. It is a bit discouraging because our warm seasons are so short. The tulips have finally braved the cold and poked above ground although I don't expect to see the riot of colour until it warms up considerably. Such is Spring on PEI! Thank you for sharing your post and I hope the snow doesn't last long.
Blessings,
Sandi
