Hail-snow last night left slushy snow on the driveway and on the few intrepid blooms. Hopefully this counts as the snow that usually falls close to my birthday and we’ll be done now.

It’s been a typically wacky spring here in NW Ohio Zone 6. Bulbs and buds are coming up slower than the past two (early) springs, and I’m OK with that. I’m not so OK with the hail-snow that I saw this evening, or the fact that it’s been really too cold to get out into the beds and borders and do the cleanup they so desperately deserve.
I got out a couple days ago when it was unseasonably warm and took a few photos of the emerging colors:


Apparently @XelHaPark doesn’t want any more of my money; I’ve tried contacting them three times in the past week to purchase additional photos from them, since we only brought enough pesos for one photo and a plushie from the gift shop. At least I brought my camera.
