Wacky Weather

OK, let me get this straight. Last Sunday we had a snow storm, and the snow stayed around longer than usual because Monday's high was a mere (and meager) 32°F. Yet by Friday it was 74, and then low 80s both Saturday and Sunday. From snow to 80s in a week. I expect everyone will catch a cold!

And my flowers are blooming almost in reverse order. Daffodils were first. in February; they are usually a late sign of spring. Two weeks ago, the forsythia finally started to bloom; it's usually the first sign of spring while it's still bitter cold and we need a reminder that spring will thaw us out. Last week the crocuses bloomed; they're usually quite a while after forsythia and before daffodils. Topsy turvy!
