I woke up to find snow covering the pansies I planted on Sunday.
Remember my post from yesterday? Something along the lines of “spring is here to stay”… Well just about the time I finished posting it last night, the rain that had been falling all day turned to snow! So we went from 65 degrees in the morning to snow at night!!! Apparently the Snow Queen marshelled her forces for one last sally before her long retreat.
Warm weather over the weekend encouraged my rhubarb to emerge from it’s winters nap, which turned out to be a very rude awakening!
The snow came along with blustery winds, which caused us to loose power several times today. Fortunately electricity is somewhat optional around our house. I was snug and warm in the studio, with a cheery fire blazing in my wood stove, while I caught up on some of my hand sewing.
The first of my daffodils opened yesterday, just a few hours before the snow started coming down.
By early evening most of the snow had melted. We are in for one or two more cold nights, then the weather is supposed to improve. Hopefully all of my plants will hang on.
