April Snow

The weather forecasters said it would, and it did -- off and on all day long.

Snow in April makes an unwelcome visitor. The azaleas budded fully, crabapple and kwanzan cherry blooming, and the redbud glorious -- all of them covered by snow, still wet, but accumulating, with the temperature falling before zero.

Oh my.

I shall miss the warmth and perfumed splendor of spring.

May it return soon.
