I can, indeed, be a sucker for the cliche'. I do like beautiful things and I do like the resilience of nature. Around here, this is a pretty typical time to have a snow storm. So each year, we all go out into our gardens and make a few frames of the flowers, that seemed happy a day earlier, looking a bit sad. We, of course, place those feeling on the plants who are just surviving how they know best and if this cold and snow persists, they will simply just move on to the next phase of their life. In some cases, like the peach blossoms below, it might mean no fruit this year - but that is life. The bulbs will be fine, they will just keep on splitting and multiplying under foot and show up again next year.
It is still a happy spring.

And if you're not a fan of the cold maybe swing over to our sponsor, The Buffalo Street Lanes and roll a few.
