Midwest Spring


In the midwest it's not a common occurrence to see spring bulbs up and blooming bright one day then covered with snow the next, but it does happen occasionally. Like yesterday.

Fortunately, at least in my experience, the snow doesn't seem to damage the plants.


And it does offer some photo opportunities.



And conversation for future years..."remember the spring those tiny little daffodils were covered with snow?"


And give pause for things that seem just a little bit out of whack...like last night, the ground was covered with snow yet it was still light outside at almost 8pm...or this morning, the ground is covered with snow but the birdies are singing just like they would on any other spring day.

Mother Nature can be mighty entertaining!

It's amazing to me that the flowers can withstand the snow. Beautiful pictures, Marilyn.
