April Snowstorm

On April 27, 2010, in Uncategorized, by Anna

You might have thought that since it’s the end of April, we would be done with this white, fluffy stuff…..

This morning when we looked out the bedroom window, it appeared that we had been transported to the inside of a snow-globe.  There were huge white flakes floating around lazily in the sky.  The lawn was covered in snow, and the spruces started to look like it was Christmas time.

If you look carefully on the left side of the picture though, you can tell that the birch has some leaves though.  Definitely not December.

And that’s the backyard.

If we go to the front of the house, what do we see?

Daffodils!

I really wonder if they will recover.  I guess it depends on how long the snow is planning on staying.  :-)  Just yesterday it was 20C, warm and sunny.  I was sitting on the back deck working on another lace shawl, and the kids were playing badminton on the lawn.  We had popsicles and freezies and it was starting to feel like summer.  I’m hoping for more of those days in the next little while, and fewer snowstorms.
