Perfect start to NPM! I hope spring wins out!
ReplyDeleteWe're almost certainly done with snow, but north Alabama is still seeing freezing overnight temps this week. Thanks for a glimpse of warmer weather ahead!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the warmth wafting off of your blushing trees and forsythia—I'm hoping it will melt-a-way that forecast. I'll take the first two lovely lines, thanks Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteOh no! The ultimate cruelty! Snow when everything is already blooming! I hope you don't get much.
ReplyDeleteThe signs of spring are multiplying here as well. We even heard peepers last night! I'm so glad you're writing haiku this month and look forward to reading them.
ReplyDeleteAh the weather is such a tease. Hoping for a false forecast!
ReplyDeleteThat's April (also March as we know). Thanks for starting off with a lovely 'mixture', Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteMaple trees blushing - perfect description!
ReplyDeleteI was shocked hearing about the weather changes. Nature has shocked me once again but I should be used to the change growing up in the NYS snow belt of Central New York, Mary Lee. Your haiku offers contrasts and that I like.
ReplyDeleteOh! You're off to a beautiful start, Mary Lee.
ReplyDeleteMmm, danger. I put in tomato plants on Tuesday at 70* and I swear the green beans sprouted overnight; this morning it's 28* and I hope everything survives. "forsythia in full joy" is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Forsythia in full joy (they seem to shout their gladness) is perfect. And then the change to come in your last line.
ReplyDeleteOh the joy of Ohio in spring. Those Great Lakes have a way of keeping April and May interesting. I love joyful and blushing flowers.
