There's a saying, "it's not spring until it snows on the dogwood," and during March or April snows, people check to see if the dogwoods have bloomed and if it is "snowing on the dogwood." As annoying as an April snow can be, at least it usually means that it can now finally turn to spring and we can put the tire chains and the bulky snow pants and coats away for several months. During our crazy back and forth undecided weather with the on again off again snow and hail storms around Easter this year, I saw it snow on the blooming pink dogwoods in my neighborhood and at the school THREE times. I was repeatedly reminded though that it had to snow on the white ones, the pink ones didn't count. Well the white ones bloomed before the freak hail/snow blizzard we had a week and a half ago, so that should have been it, done, finished!
But no, we had to have another blizzard today.
I am SO DONE with snow!!!
look at those poor apple blossoms!
at least this snow fell softly,
lots of it, but softly
I must admit though, that it is really cool when it snows those big fat soft feathery snow flakes and you look straight up into the sky (wear glasses or goggles) and it looks like your flying through space with stars all around you -
sort of a slower version of the Millennium Falcon going into light speed.
(wish I could capture it on film better)
look at those poor apple blossoms!
