April Fools - a Day Late!

This was taken today during one of our glorious snow showers. You can see we have green grass and forsythias and daffodils are blooming but we've been pelted on and off all day with snow and 40-50 mph winds. When it's not snowing we have partial sun and blue skies - in Chicago they always say: "Wait a minute and the weather will change."

Love the contrasts in this. Summer does not want to let go in my part of the world with temps around 70F.

That looks like mid winter Kathy. It is a nice capture but an unusual one for April.

Kathy, in my country we have the saying: "April doet wat hij wil." (April does what he wants). I think it's in parts of the the US the same. In any case your picture gives in a excellent way the fickleness of the weather in this month.

April showers bring May flowers. I'm not sure what they say about snow. I hope the budding plants won't suffer much, Kathy.

Oh boy, this looks a little something up here but hopefully you didn't get as much as us. You might call them glorious snow falls, that's not what I'd call them, lol

With the exchange rate we have to wait 20 minutes for the weather to change. A joke's a joke, but it's not funny anymore. A cool capture, Kathy.
