Fresh snow is fairly normal at this time. We may be getting more than usual this spring.
Our days become very long so plants develop rapidly and reach maturity before the fall. Right now the sun rises at 6:20 and sets at 8:48 for 14 hours and 28 minutes of daylight.
New blades of grass poking out of the snow. The types of grass we plant are able to withstand these conditions.
The view on my street this morning.
My blue bells are doing well at the side of my house . The snow didn't hit this area.
I have seen times when these blue bells have been covered with snow but they are not harmed.
I think you can keep your snow out there Red. I am so sick of it, and welcome warm days and loads of flowers!!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting long days now and they will get much longer. then Our plants develop rapidly.
DeleteI bet you're eager for warm weather, like most everyone else. Still cold and rainy here in Portland.
ReplyDeleteThere is a middle between the two extremes. I'd choose the middle.
DeleteMother Nature is helping you out with your blog posts, Red. And I'm glad it's where YOU live and not here. We are having more, you guessed it: rain. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I would really have to change to live in the rain. I visit Vancouver once in awhile and I don't like the rain.
DeleteYou sound resigned to spring snow. I guess you might as well find the beauty of it.
ReplyDeleteWe know that it can happen at this time of year. If it was an extreme it wouldn't be nice.
DeleteYes and you shared as we had snow this morning :(
ReplyDeleteYou know I always send you the good stuff!
DeleteSnow again!? It's disappeared from here. But we have been getting quite a bit of rain!
ReplyDeleteIt's not uncommon to get snow at this time. On the other hand, five years ago it was 25 C.
DeleteSeriously? Snow? Doesn't Mother Nature know it's almost May?!? My goodness!
ReplyDeleteMother Nature will give us much longer days and our plants will develop rapidly.
DeleteIsn't that "peaceful looking dwelling" the home of a mass murderer - driven crazy by the endless Albertan winter?
ReplyDeleteYou know it will disappear soon!
ReplyDeleteIt was gone by 4:00 PM
DeleteYikes,it would be terrible here, lots of stuff blooming
ReplyDeleteI've seen my peonys in snow. They survive.
DeleteBluebells are so pretty. I hope the snow and winter weather will hurry up and go away. We've had strange weather- this morning it is 42...just when I thought I could pull my capris out, I am having to dig out my sweaters again.
ReplyDeleteLive dangerously. Pull out the capris!
DeleteGaaaah! I heard you'd gotten some snow. Hope it melts soon!
ReplyDeleteYesterday's snow was gone by 4:00 PM
DeleteOur mountains are getting a big dump of snow today with lots of heavy rain down in the city. This year it's an endless winter!
ReplyDeleteI think we're done with it here until November.
ReplyDeleteWould you bet money on that?
DeleteYour bluebells definitely look like a different species from our bluebells. More snow! Argh!
ReplyDeletePlants are developed for different zones of frost free days. So stuff we have develops quickly.
DeleteSpring snow is called poor man's fertilizer here ... just keep telling yourself that, Red !
ReplyDeleteYou're right. There's lots of nitrogen in heavy wet snow!
DeleteI refuse to be snowed... by you or anyone else!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, are you trying to tell me that I'm giving you a line! Nice play on words.
DeleteYour spring is far away I see...
ReplyDeleteSaw some snow on our Colorado trip a few weeks ago and it was really fun having the contrast.
ReplyDeleteI hear they're getting a foot or more in Colorado this weekend, so you have plenty of company.
ReplyDeleteHardy folks those bluebells....:)
ReplyDeleteI hope your snow stays in your area -- I'm enjoying warm weather and lots of green.
ReplyDeleteI guess even the plants have to be sturdier there. It seems like everything dies even during a short period of frost.
