snow, snow go away come again another (year)


2 days ago, after a walk with the pup. I decided to take pictures of our flowers.
I love daffodils, and I have been watching like an excited child as each bulb shot out of the ground and bloomed. Seriously. Not kidding. I would sit in my front yard and stare at them, so happy.The I discovered this little gift in our overgrown side yard. It gets no sun, and frankly no attention. But it apparently was the home to some discarded bulbs.
These beauties look like little starfish flowers. I love them. I think next year I'll move these bulbs somewhere I can see them!

But sadly this morning I woke up to this... Again..
and this...I try to be happy and excited about the snow... but this morning it made me sad. Can't I be excited about it again? Maybe next year?

geoff always says it snows in may and once in june. for 9 yrs, he was right when we'd lived in utah, it always snowed once in june. crazy! sorry about the flowers. maybe you can melt the snow with warm water and put some plastic over them and keep them alive? good luck. i'm glad you got good pictures of them before they go munched.

I was so sad this morning, too! It's Andrew's spring break this week. We've decided that spring must be taking a break, too!

Yeah I think snow this time of year is depressing. I want flowers and sun and warmth and shorts! There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. We've all been wearing sweaters for long enough. And that's very sad about your daffodils. :(
