What happened to spring?

Wasn't yesterday's post about SPRING? Did I not just share photos of springlike sightings around the neighborhood?

Obviously my timing was poor, because when I woke up at 2am and looked outside, THIS is what I saw.

Snow was falling steadily!

And it clearly wasn't one of the weird dreams I've been having lately.

I WILL say that the snow is rather pretty. It's sticking to tree branches and staying off the road. But it would be a LOT prettier if this were December.

But it's nearly April.

ARGH! So much for my sandals today.

Neighborhood garden

We live in a "planned community" with several green spaces. Just a block away from our house is a large park with a formal garden area.

When I passed it today, I noticed that the peonies are in full bloom, so I stopped and took a few photos. This is such a pretty place to sit when you're walking or riding your bike.
