April Showers Bring.....

If April showers bring May flowers....

What do April snow showers bring??

• cold
• depression
• wet socks and shoes
• birds in hiding
• slipping and sliding down the hill to my car after work
• a general, overall foul mood

Yes, today is April 7th, where the average high is 56 degrees. Today we were a balmy 37 degrees with rain and snow flurries. This was the kind of snowstorm that had huge, ginormous snowflakes. I was thankful I had a big golf umbrella today because it was really coming down. 

As I was leaving work, this is what I saw: a beautiful winter wonderland....in April.

Even the birds were taking shelter under a pine tree as the snow was too much for them.

I got home from work and could have shoveled the driveway, but decided that was just too much for me in spring. I sadly looked at all our tulip stems coming up, now covered in snow.

The worst part was the snow was heavy and slushy. I really could have been wearing boots today because there was so much wet slush. Both Scott and I came home with wet shoes and pants cuffs and drenched socks. Not fun.  I'd much rather go back to the 70+ degree days we had awhile back.  I guess those days were just teasers.
