Thursday in the Garden with Simba

Did you check your calendars? Yes, it IS March 24th! Spring began a few days ago, according to the calendar, but not according to Mother Nature. We have had snow the past two days, so this is what MY garden looks like!

Looking down from our front door:

Our Kwanzaan Cherry Tree, which is supposed to be full of blooms in a couple of weeks' time:Can you see the bird feeder to the left, covered in snow? dad will have to go and brush it off for the birdies.This is part of the maple tree right off our deck, the one the Hawk sat in. If you look carefully you can see the reddish leaf buds under the snow. Boy, I bet THEY were surprised!

  2. Maybe we should stop complaining about our two weeks of rain, at least it's not snow! Hang in these Simba.

  3. Oh gosh, that is terrible. Mother Nature sure wasn't kind to you folks. The poor little sprigs of Spring are thoroughly confused now.Hope it goes away soon.

  4. Meowza, sweet Simba, we think you need to come and spend some time with us.......Spring is definitely here....and you may call it Summer. Our a/c kicks in almost every day....we are enjoying some window whiffs this morning, but are sure that before long the a/c will kick in and the windows and door will get closed....sigh.

  5. Oh, Simba, we feel for you. We missed the snow that fell west of us, but it's COLD. Freezing, in fact.

    We hope you get your spring soon -- and that we do too!

  12. *wow*
    We still can't believe we are having close to 90 degree weather here and it's snowing there! Our cold front tomorrow drops the temperature down to only 70 degrees (then it goes right back up into the 80's)...it continuously amazes me ... Mother Nature.
