An intense spring storm the calendar claims April but just look outside tiny plants lie shivering old man winter's final breath.

Dear Nancy, this is very lovely and ... your words and the picture are so eloquent that I shiver too (it is cold once again in the homes here too!).
Love and hugs. Margherita

This can be one of those times of year when the daffodils say "To heck with this, I'm going back down!" Well done, Nancy. KJThrough rubble and trouble and dark of night The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Hey Scorpio! It sure is damp and cold, not to mention the wind and snow. Thank you for mentioning the pic which was taken a couple of days ago, outside, when the temp was about 80 degrees. LOL. Hugs & Such.

K~Thank you for your response, and I will have to go outside today and check to see how much has been ruined by the snow and cold. Hopefully most plants will bounce back. Hugs.

Smiling at this...don't you know the actual moving days were rather warm...and once we got tucked in? Cool weather returned...but no snow, thank goodness. Just wonderful April showers...to encourage those May flowers!
This is lovely, hip-sis!
