A Teacher's Reflections 
Snow in April – it happens – it’s happening here – but you bring out the beauty. Thanks!
Thank you, Dan. 🙂
It’s so mad, the weather, right now!
I know!
Yes, Jennie, it’s pretty, it’s New England. BUT IT’S MID APRIL and 37 DEGREES! But that’s just me. You, the eternal optimist, perfectly fit Monty Python’s, ‘Always Look On The Bright Side of Life’…(I hope this works)
One of my favorite Python performances!
😀
Thanks, Steve. On the bright side, it is pretty and it only lasted for a day. 60’s next week (hopefully).
It’s like Winter is giving Spring one last hug before moving on.
I like that!!
Pretty, but awful. Awful pretty. Pretty awful. Okay, it looks pretty, but the snow should go away now. Yes, look on the sunny side of life.
Haha! And you’re right! 😀
Wow, Jennie. This looks like March in Texas. 😁
It reminded me of that. Nobody up here in their right mind puts away their snowblower until April. Of course we put ours away last weekend. 🙂
Yes. I wonder why your neighbors aren’t organizing a tar and feather party for you two. After all it was putting away the snowblower that caused the snow.
Of course you’re absolutely right! 😅
😊
Beautiful
Thank goodness they beauty only lasted for a day. 🙂
yes, just the perfect amount of time –
😀
Reblogged this on Love and Love Alone.
Thank you.
Well I guess that settled the question of sitting out on the deck for today!
Yup!
The weather gets confused sometimes – rather like the rest of us.
Yes! 🙂
It’s heading our way… 👩 Oh, the magic of nature!
Mother Nature is having a goodbye winter party! 🙂
The storm headed out to sea and we’re dancing with the daffodils! ❤ Have a great week, Jennie! xo
I’m opening our porch this week, and Mother Nature had better bring in the spring. 🥰 Our daffodils took a hit with the snow. They look like they’re sleeping.
That’s what my yard looked like today!
Mine is still covered, but the green is now showing. That’s a good sign. At least it was short lived for both of us!
🙂
How gorgeous!
Thank you, Norah. Winter does like a last hurrah in New England.
A final bow, an encore. 🙂
Indeed!
It also snowed here, but fortunately failed to settle. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
That is fortunate! Best to you, Pete.
Thank you
You are welcome.
A lovely poem and picture, Jennie.
Thank you, Robbie.
A wonderful image, with a great poem. But honestly, will the flowers also have loved the snow? 😉 Thank you, Jennie!
Good point! 🙂
😉 Maybe they are ranting about, but we can not hear them. Imagine we would be able listen to the conversations of the flowers. 😉 x
Wouldn’t that be wonderful!
Absolutely, but maybe not when they talk about farmers using Roundup. 😉
Indeed!
😉
Beautiful picture!
Thank you.
