As spring creeps in, I keep waiting for the charm of a proper snowfall. This unseasonably warm winter seem to have fooled no one but me. The young leaves of the butterfly bush takes a stand. They look sturdy and healthy. They’re not going anywhere, despite their encounter with a transient snowfall. They’ve suffered no harm.

A lovely meditation on this seasonal twilight between a warm winter and an emerging Spring. Lovely!

A delightful reflection on the survival of the fittest shaking off winter, even though mild. We haven’t had much winter in our area except a few days in the 20 degree F bracket. Today, our temp was 74 F – crazy weather! Thank you for participating, Pat.

I thought it was just me. Because as I think back I couldn’t wait for spring last year because it was so cold! Now it’s the opposite!!

I too see global warming in the unseasonal weather, Pat. The seasons seem to have shifted and I expect snow before or around Easter. I love the haiku – plant pots do seem to wear winter like clutter!
