Need I say more? This was the scene around our house on Friday morning. Just this week the snow had finally melted from the flower beds next to the pool and I saw that my daffodils had broken ground. I was so excited to see them! Now they are  covered with snow once again. We got about five inches overnight and it continued on to snow another two inches or so during the day yesterday. But, our temperatures are supposed to be "spring-like" this weekend so we'll see. Still, it's disheartening.

It was pretty though. It was the kind of snow that left all the tree branches looking that they had been traced with a fat white marker.

If you like that kind of thing, that is. And I normally do except that I am tired of it. That's very unusual for me since I am the one always hoping and wishing for snow. But I've had enough this year. I'm done! Especially since daylight savings time goes into effect tonight, which to me always signals the start of warmer weather. It seems early this year and I'm not ready. What's the point of having it be nice and light in the evening if one can't enjoy it? Plus I was just getting in tune with the sun coming up earlier each day. Now it's going to be harder to get out of bed at a decent time because of the darkness.

Spring will come. I know it will. It's just the waiting that's hard.

Photo P. S. : I know my white balance is different in the first pic but I liked it because it looked cold.

I’m with you!  Looked about like that around here too yesterday before the sun went down.  But overnight the snow came off all the trees and the blue skies and sunshine this morning are a very welcome sight!!!  The melting has already begun.  You’ll see your daffodils again in no time.

This DOES seem early for DST. As for the snow, well, it won’t last long. Enjoy it now so in the hottest peak of August and September you can remember what it was like!

Oh, and yes, our amaryllis(es?) are blooming. One is much farther ahead of the other three, and I’ll have a picture within the next day or two.
