seldom heard, well must you keep your secrets
locked inside, hidden deep from view?

Those pictures are gorgeous. Are you ready for the next round of snow?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alycia! I haven't covered my plants yet because it hasn't started snowing yet. Fingers crossed... And yet, we SO need the moisture!
DeleteThose are very pretty, with the flowers peeking out from the patterns of snow. Hope they make it through OK.
ReplyDeleteThey made it through that storm, Catsynth. Now, will they survive today's blanket of white???
DeleteSure signs that spring has sprung, even with the yucky white stuff still there.
ReplyDeleteSpring sometimes takes a little longer to wake up in the Rockies, Pat. :) Can't really complain though. Oh, how we need the moisture.
DeleteWow, these are pretty, even if that white stuff is pushing it's way around all the lovely flowers, which by the way we haven't been that lucky to have even a tiny sprout up and being cradled by snow. They say we get more, yes this May Day, tonight and tomorrow, after all our snow finally left!
ReplyDeleteIn the same white boat with you, Karen. We're expecting a total of ten more inches today. I finally did cover my plants... I surrender.
DeleteI'm definitely of the "sometimes it pays to be late" school. :)
ReplyDelete"Peekaboo" is my favourite I think, though you've made the choice very difficult!
P.S. Re moisture - I think we're finally out of drought status here in WI. Hoping the same happens for you!
Sue, I hope like heck what we're getting will protect the mountains from fires this summer. If we can keep the fires away this summer, I'll tolerate whatever snow we get, no matter how late it comes.
DeletePS: That's my favorite of this batch, too. But I got a bunch more fresh shots this morning, and there might be a tulip shot to top the grape hyacinth...
Those are beautiful! Exactly how I've been feeling this week, even though our winter wasn;'t as dramatically snowy as this, it was still long, long, and longer. (and yes, very cheery! I'll have to work on that for next week)
ReplyDeleteNiahm, our winter was so dry and so warm most of the time, so this spring has been absolutely wild. If not for the extreme heat, drought and fires last summer, I think I'd be pretty depressed with the ten new inches we are receiving today. But we need the moisture. I keep saying that! I'm very thankful our mountains might have a better chance of thriving this summer...
DeleteLoved the photos! The flowers and snow contrast beautifully! Thanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Paul! It was a pleasure to "meet" you. I wish you well in your recovery efforts!
DeleteRolling over and playing dead isn't all it's cracked up to be. Tends to attract flies. Though in this case they may be frozen flies I suppose. :)
ReplyDeleteFrozen flies, now there's something I have not photographed yet!!!
Deletesnow can make great shots. Like snow widnows with flowers looking out. :) I just hope it will not remain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful combination...snow, flowers, crochet and Spring? Looks like Utah a couple of weeks ago. :-) Snowed here yesterday...it was our wedding anniversary, also snowed the day we got married so it was a pleasant reminder of that day. Have a good rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Astri! We got ten more inches the day this was published, so I have enough shots for a whole new post! But I might wait a while. This could get boring fast. :)
DeleteNo storm can beat the spring. It's very sunny and quite warm here in Finland. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteOh, Neferi, I'm so glad you have real spring! I hope you're enjoying it in your lovely garden!
DeleteYou just gotta dig hardy flowers.
ReplyDeleteAnd dig and replant, and dig and replant, and dig and replant... :)
