On the weekend, the weather finally got warm enough for the last of snow to melt. Nearly a month late, Winnipeggers stepped out of hiding indoors, wincing in the unfamiliar warmth of the sun as they shed boots and parkas for flip flops and shorts.
I too joined in the exodus outside and cleaned off the patio, put out my planters hauled out my turtle sculptures and arranged them "just so" on my freshly-swept deck.
At last, Spring Had Arrived.
Or so I thought.
Because this is what greeted me this morning:
Poor birdies... they were having a ball feasting at my thrift-store bird feeder filled with seeds and nuts on Sunday. Today it's ice-covered. And It's.Still.Snowing!
It IS May, isn't it? Because I have an uneasy feeling that I need to put away the Halloween decor, and start getting to those Christmas cards I always leave too late to make.
I would have pitched a major hissy feet waking to snow. lol It's a relief to know that the shovels, salt and parkas can be put away.
ReplyDeleteHa! Hissy fits don't work! (I know)
DeleteYikes. I think your spring is here. 70 today and up into the 80s this weekend (to keep us in check ....of course we had frost in some areas last night..my tomatoes are not getting planted quite yet!)
