Invincible Summer

April 15, 2015 by Homestead Lady 8 Comments

Invicible Summer l Homestead Lady (.com)A surprise snow storm has hit the spring garden.

Fake Spring

So there was spring. And there was more snow.

The apple blossoms are coated in a blanket of it. The cherry blossoms are sagging under it’s weight.

But the kale and the spring onions seem to be cheering them on. Even the daffodils are undaunted. Nature finds a way to bounce back.

There’s a lesson for me in that, I’m sure.

    Magnificent looking garden. Mine is still to soggy to walk on. Fortunately with Spring snows they seldom last and are not as dangerous as a surprize frost. Crossing my fingers for your apple and cherry blossoms.

      Thank you, Lisa! I actually prayed for the blossoms – well, the pollen, anyway – is that weird? The sun is shining today and we really needed the moisture. It’s all good!

    As long as Summer and Winter, springtime and harvest….

    Hang in there. It looks like the snow that takes the snow away.

    I’ve just spent too much time gazing at this photo. I know you are ready for spring but the snow is just so beautiful to me.

      Actually, Angi, we’ve been so starved for moisture this year that is was truly a blessing. Sometimes our blessings look a lot like trials and you just have to wait for the view to change. The snow really is lovely – so soft and quiet when it falls. Texas has it’s own beauties, though – you’re one of them, m’dear!
