For the Beauty of the Earth

Look - a crocus the bunnies didn't eat!

Spring has arrived in our little village. As is usual here during this season, warm days full of glorious sunshine are followed by precipitous drops in temperature, with sometimes as much as a 50 or 60 degree ‘bounce’ in the temperature’s highs from one day to the next.

Two weeks ago we had record highs – 80F – accompanied by treacherous thunderstorms that spat hail and pounding rain. Today, however, we had one of those rare spring snowstorms which carries within it huge flakes the size of quarters that lazily drift and swirl in patterns that make me feel as if I’m inside an enormous snowglobe.

It is indescribably beautiful.

    If someone would stop shaking that snowglobe my daffs would stand up ;) Happy Spring!

    I’m beginning to think that someone wants to shake that thing for New England until we fall off the map. Which is a very real possibility this week – every river in the State of CT is at flood stage as of this morning – and it will only get worse.

    Anyone got an Ark?

    Kris – No, but how about snowshoes, a snorkel, mask and fins :)
