Iiiiit's Snowtime!

Damn. After two weeks of Seattle-like summer weather, it looks like a goshdang Christmas card, other than the bright tulips getting smashed by the snow, the cherry tree blossoms coated with a fine sheen of ice, and the astonishingly deep green of the grass when it does peek through the snowdrifts.

Five inches in the still parts of the garden. Feet up in the mountains. The tomatoes are dead, but I still have the three I saved, and I think I'll wait until Mother's Day, like most sane Coloradans do. I have one of them in a HUGE pot, the other two might get a transplant so they can keep growing.

What amuses me the most...

Is that with inches of snow on the ground and more coming down, the HOA published the fact that in three weeks (May 21) the pool will be opening.

Wow.
