Rural Thursday - Hey it stopped raining...



I thought I might join in on Rural Thursday over on Nancy's Blog (A Rural Journal) today.

Good Morning! - Well yesterday I posted some photos about my birthday and the fact that the weather hadn't been at all springlike with all the rain we've had.  I guess one shouldn't complain because this is what we woke up to this morning...































"What on earth is happening - The 1st Day of Spring was 2 days ago, right?


Coleen on her way to school. I couldn't help but think of how when I was a kid I use to have to walk 5 miles, uphill in blinding snow storms, barefoot...Okay so I'm exaggerating a little!






























Poor little Daffodils...Every spring it's either rain or snow that arrives just after the flowers start blooming and they look so sad...
Snowball Shrubs!


























Pull up a Park bench anyone?

Apple Blossoms.

Let me just say I could not get my Captions to line up under the photo's so I apologize for that.

I'm happy to report the sun is out, the sky is mostly blue, the snow is melting.
Forecast for next week.....RAIN!

  5. Oh no! I'm so glad it skipped us today. Is it melting quickly? Where is the scene with the park benches...love that one! Of course, the snowball shrubs are great, too. And Colleen traipsing down the snowy path.... ;-)

  12. Oh no, not snow, Ida!!!
    Here in NY, we broke all previously recorded high temp records this week, and it was wonderful. Forecasted high temp for this coming Monday? 37 degrees. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
