APRIL OR DECEMBER? YOU DECIDE!

What a difference a week makes...

Last Saturday in Seattle,
80 delicious degrees at gametime!!!

Today, April 19th,
37 frigid degrees (28 with the windchill) AND SNOW SHOWERS!!! WHA...???

Give us a break!! GLOBAL WARMING? I THINK NOT!!!

Oh, and let's add in another hail storm or
two while we're at it!!!
What wacky weather on this silly Saturday!!!

SPRING FINALLY BLOOMS!

This is a bouquet that my husband surprised me with for Easter.
It combines two of my favorite colors...purple and green!
I think it is a stunning combo!

Outside, it is quite a different story!
I took this picture last weekend after an unexpected snow fell in our area...
I wasn't sure whether my daffodils would be hardy enough to survive the temps...
just look at their little heads bent under with the weight of the ice!

Just when I thought things were safe, last night they
even endured a really freaky hail storm with hail the size of grapes!
The flowers can be seen to the left in this picture...

But today, much to my JOY, they opened up their faces
to the glorious sun! Ah...spring has finally arrived!

I THAW'T IT WAS SPRING!

So it's nearly the end of March...Spring has been with us for a week...and then... what's this? A couple of days' worth of freaky Spring Snow has hit the usually-mild-and-rainy Pacific Northwest! Some outlying areas got as much as 5 or 6 inches! We only got an inch or so and it melted quickly, but it was fun to watch as it blanketed the blooming plum trees and totally confused my daffodils and tulips that are trying with all their might to bloom! Maybe this week...stay tuned!

YODEL-LAY-HEE-HOOOOO!!!
