Nature Walks – What A Difference A Day Makes

Two days ago, I was in shorts. The skies were bright blue and it was about 80* F or about 27*C. It was a beautiful day. I noticed my first little iris that had popped up in my front yard, with another bud about to open. It was a perfect birthday present for my mom, who is in Heaven. Irises were her favorite flowers.

And then …. All that changed. Our sunshine disappeared and was replaced by SNOW. In May! We got about 8 inches, and it is still snowing now. It is supposed to continue snowing until about noon today. We didn’t get a winter when we were supposed to, but we are are sure getting it now. It just goes to show what a difference a day makes in our wacky unpredictable state. 🙂

It is still snowing a bit, but the sun is also beginning to come out, which means, our south facing areas are already starting to melt. And yet, somehow, through these massive temperature changes, my little irises survived.

Believe me when I say Colorado has some of the wackiest weather around. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great, no matter what gets thrown your way. 🙂 ‘Til next time.

  1. That explains why I watched a video of tiger having a ball in the snow at the Wild Life Sanctuary. Must have been our snow intended for the pass. For the first time in years the narrow Sonora Pass opened before Mother‘s Day.
