April SNOW showers bring...

What is all this?

C'mon, spring, stick with me here! 

 

 

Snowing, hailing, (would that be "snailing?")

 

The kids were hoping for snow boots and snowmen.

I was quite happy to see it all melted off by evening, thank you very much.

 

The flowers didn't seem any worse for the wear, at least.

 

  I had a hard time cutting some to bring in, at first.

They look so pretty where they are and will last for so much longer out there.

But after a visit with friends, where the children were allowed to pick tulips to their hearts delight, I realized that part of the joy of having these pretty flowers is being able to pick some to brighten up your home.

So we did.

It is such a cheerful spot of color on the counter; I don't regret it a bit.

Besides, once I got going, it was fun! I picked a few more to share with a neighbor.

And what do you know? There are still plenty in the flowerbed.

In fact, you can't even really tell they are gone.

 

There are plenty of these left out there, too.
In case you were wondering.
