It seems our friends in Colorado know this well. I, too, am always sad to see the cold snap. Our weeping cherry is currently in full bloom. I'm hoping the cold stays away for a few nights. It's gorgeous.
As for this duo: magnolias and mourning. Perfect! (and sad)

This makes me sad! This weekend, we have so much color- daffodils, tulips, hyacinths! And Tuesday we are supposed to have another snowstorm! UGH!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, you heard it from Carol, more winter coming! Sorry for those magnolias!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I guess the ephemerality is part of why we love them so much, but it's hard to take when they get zapped!
ReplyDeleteSpring is a fickle fella! It is again snowing outside my window as I type this...yesterday it was 60 degrees. *sigh*
