Alice, endulging in her love of reading while enjoying the spring sunshine.
What's missing on this apple tree? Blossoms! There just aren't the blossoms that should be adorning the trees right now.
Some of the tulips and daffodils made it through the terrible freeze, but not all. Some heads have tried to bloom still, but their stems were frozen, and mushy, so they have no strength to stand up. Most of my daffodils are yellow varieties, with one bed of these apricot-colored beauties.
So, Spring has actually come, though it has been up and down--80 degrees for a couple of days, then 45 degrees, then back to 80. One day the weatherman is saying "this is really strange, this storm is like a mid-winter storm," and then a week later he says, "this is strange for this storm is like a mid-summer storm". (We got 5 inches of rain in 3 days--some areas are flooding.) Nothing has been like a regular "spring storm".
Is that really Alice in the first picture?! Ryan, my mom and I are all staring at the picture in disbelief - it really looks like Deborah!
ReplyDeleteI too thought it was Deborah until I read the caption! I was wondering when Deborah had come home! Those apricot daffodils are beautiful...
