It is officially Wednesday, May 12,2010.
I know because the clock now shows almost 2 am.
I should be in bed, fast asleep.
But no..am not.
Just checked outdoors (peeked through the window)
Turned on exterior flood lights..
and yes, my lush green freshly mowed lawn is now white..
had been cold rain earlier when I headed to dreamland..
except out front, beneath the crabapple..
looks like pink snow with all the petals down..
first rain, then a sloppy mix,
I have been good..and complained only somewhat..
well, maybe a lot of somewhat...
but geez..this is mid MAY!
but the snow will continue..into Thursday..
Denver will go from this...
Please join Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer for more Wednesday Outdoors.
and Barbara Jacksier for Waterside Wednesday.
Enjoy your day wherever you may be!
My official countdown has begun..
two weeks from today, I' be watching a Florida sunset..
.
Did I tell you I was born and raised in Miami?
ReplyDeleteYup. Lived there until I was 14.
I miss the ocean, but not all the cramped shorelines. Miss the tropical flowers and palm trees and laying on the beach for hours.
But come summer, I love love love the mountains! beautiful pictures! Say, did you find work yet?
Snow? Snow?????????
ReplyDeleteThat is way crazy, girl. Snow in May; heck, I don't like snow in January!
Get thee to Florida as quickly as you can.
:-)
It's a little chilly here in NJ, but ... NO SNOW!

ReplyDeletethanks for the neat response..
My Grandfather lived in Miami..
he left Pensacola to work on the building of the Fountainbleu Hotel..and never came north again except to visit.
like you, I do miss a lot of the "real" Florida..before it became the tourist-mecca of today..
I love my Colorado home,,except for times like now with the late spring snows..
or the looooooooong cold snowy winters!
thats when Florida calls my name on a daily basis..I go, get my fill, and come back to Denver.
No "real" job yet..several in the mix..hopefully after my trip home..
I'll keep you posted!
warmest hugs..

Cool post. We had a snow threat here in the Portland OR area a few weeks back too. Had to cover up our new spring gardens. I like your pictures, all the spring blooms covered in the dusting of snow. Hope some sun heads your way!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! This weather is really crazy. Thanks for following me. I just returned the favor. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have no words.....cannot EVEN imagine. But am so glad you're getting to hit the beaches soon. What part of FL will you be going to? Since it's only a 7 hr drive for me, I go often. Long girlfriend weekends are the best!! Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteMy son (age 16) wants to live in Colorado, even with spring weather like this! He and his dad went on a camping trip to your state a few summers ago and he's been talking about living there ever since.
ReplyDelete...and more snow this morning. Such a long, cold winter this has been!!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely! Glad you were able to bring some lilacs in to enjoy up close.
Happy weekend!
