thoughts of yours & thoughts of ours...would create an unforgettable memoir !!!
lovely!
Thank you!
I’m still waiting for cherry blossoms. Getting hammered right now with our third snow this month. Possibly up to 7 inches.
I don’t envy you!
I’ll live, it’ll pass eventually.
Probably 🙂
Very nice… March snows often have flowers peaking out from them. Our cherry trees still have another few weeks. Pear trees are white and in full bloom.
Funny how things differ from continent to continent. Here I think the cherry is the first to blossom here. Certainly our pears and apples aren’t in bloom yet.
We’re getting “pelted” with snowy petals of …. snow here in NE today. But I know this wet white cold will soon produce some gorgeous pink pedals like you show here. Enjoy them for me now!
We’ve got high winds now so the petals will soon be falling. That’s spring I suppose 🙂
Oh. I HATE it when that happens! We wait wait wait for those perfectpinkblossoms, and then whoosh, Nature blows them away.
The first blossoms are already down here 😦
😦 Darn. Well, we still have that to look forward to…perhaps when/if the 12 inches of snow just fell finally melt!
You’ll find all sorts of things poking through the slush 🙂
Well, soon I hope to find my granddog’s old bone…. 🙂
Let the granddog find it. He’ll know how to deal with it.
True!! 🙂

My pleasure, Jane!

Winds of change. 😉 (Remeber a song first time published in 1989 during opening the Wall (Berliner Mauer), by the group “The Scorpions”. 🙂
I think I remember that.
the best kind of snow (K)
It’s falling now.
Lovely!
Thank you 🙂
This is such a lovely haiku, Jane.
We won’t be seeing this kind of “snow” for a while!
Thank you 🙂 The wind yesterday has blown down some of the plum blossom already.
