Opening the front door this morning revealed a big, chilly surprise.
Snow enveloped the car and covered the sidewalk leading to it.
A huge tree, across from the apartment, looked like a gargantuan winter painting.
Its bare branches held thick layers of icy snow.
Where are the perky, yellow daffodils?
Where are the bright red tulips?
Where are the pale lavender-bluish crocuses?
All are ladies-in-waiting.
Farmers markets, filled with fresh produce, including early asparagus, will also have to wait to open.
Long sigh.
Hopefully, one week from Sunday, on Easter Sunday, people in western Massachusetts will NOT be singing "Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the snowy bunny tail!"

Oh no....I hope temps warm up considerably for Easter Sunday and all the snow melts. Here it's 71 and lovely out today. Have fun cleaning the flakes off your car. Great pictures .....
Well, I love a good snowy day. And we may get some snow again in May. It's always like that in the northern states. Your pictures are pretty, Susan. You will have Spring warmth soon, and then we will get that pesky summer heat, which I don't like at all. Those farmers markets will be anxious to sell their produce!

Oh . . . I'm so sorry. Come visit my latest post and you can enjoy my daffodils. I know that is not much consolation but it's the best I can do :)
