April Fools


Yesterday, Thursday, I was delighted to see
the purple crocuses had opened to join the
yellow and white ones.



Little did I know that the snowdrops
would actually be the harbinger of a blizzard!



This morning, April 1st, I opened my eyes to the fluffiest
snow clinging to trees and turning the yard
back into a winter wonderland!

ps. well, the fluffy snow turned into a wet heavy snow
and then the sleet and rain arrived which eventually
turned back into snow.
Meanwhile, the power went out at around 8:30 am.
and just returned about 4 pm.
This is quite an April Fool's Day here in Maine...

Hope the weather is kinder to you wherever you may be!

Colorful Signs of Spring


A tiny flash of yellow in the front
yard caught my eye, could it be...
upon closer inspection... the first
of the yellow crocuses.


The snowdrops appeared a few days ago.
We still have patches of snow and chilly
windy air!
