Last night we stopped at my parents’ house and it looked like a snow globe outside. As we were leaving the snow stopped and the sun came out. It was absolutely beautiful.

It’s really not uncommon to have a bit of snow here this time of year (and it’s my mom’s birthday so we tend to remember what the weather is like this specific day) but it still is a bummer. The good news is that it will be gone soon and Odin was happy about it. We never got really warm temps so a lot of my plants are not up yet and most things are just budding, so I’m not worried about most things and didn’t take any protective measures, but I know a lot of you are in a different situation. Hope all manages it fine in your gardens.

Yep, still love Amsonia hubrectii. In fact I’m adding more to the garden this year. I can’t get over that texture. That’s Cotinus (purple smokebush) in the back and one of @casteglass birds “flying” above.

Well, I’m still going back to the well of old pictures because there’s not a lot to show right now. I am one tired gardener this Monday. I gardened nonstop this weekend. And while these long gardening days don’t offer a lot of immediate gratification it’s views like this that make that work worth it. And when I look back at pictures like this I realize that whatever you can get done in the garden is worth it. And what doesn’t get done will be forgotten about when you enjoy a view like this.
