Winter’s Last Stand

In like a lion out like a lamb, my eye. March for me began with a promise of Spring and ended with a foot of snow on the ground. April seems to be off to a good start though, with clear blue skies and patches of ready-to-mow grass poking up through the snow. And should the weather continue to tease me I’ll at least be grateful for plenty of water this year.

Here’s a zoomed-in pic I took of the lilac tree…

Snow melting over falls seed pods and springs new buds. Like three seasons in one lilac tree!

I hate Fall… it’s the precursor to Winter, and the closest I come to skiing is sliding down the freeway. But I’ve got to admit that the colors, while they last, are just beautiful. Enjoy this pic of some leaves I gathered today.

Rose and rose-hips, plus the leaves of maple, walnut, oak, pear, grape, and a creeping vine from the neighbor
