So I thought, perhaps spring was coming. After a week of warmish weather, rain and slight flurries, by the weekend the grass was exposed in places for the first time since November! It was fabulous. However, all those bright hopes were dashed, starting last night. Woke up this morning to a nice thick layer of new snow over everything. Granted, the temperature is hovering around zero (32 Fahrenheit) so there is the steady beat of dripping everywhere and tufts of snow continually dropping off the cloaked tree branches. Yet it just puts me in the mood of winter all over again. It seems as though this white world of Jackson Hole was never green and will never be that way again. How I ache for flowers and spring birds chirping in the morning; for warm sunlight on bare arms and the fresh smell of dew on newly sprouted grass. I don't suppose I could live here for life - I am in love with the seasons - each in its due time and for its due length.
So I'm wondering. What is it like in the part of Canada where you live? Do you have all the types of trees that change color in the fall? Or not really? I love the seasons too. Right this second WY sounds a little like "always winter..." and only Christmas once a year. ;)
ReplyDeleteI live in BC close to the coast (about an hour) so we get a lot of rain and not so much snow. We have AMAZING colours in the fall with all the trees and then awesome flowers in the spring (daffodils, tulips, and crocuses for example grow great) and then in the summer we have tons of berry fields. So yes, Jackson is feeling a little "always winter" compared to that! haha (that was almost the name of this post!)
ReplyDeleteDanae and I had do much fun shopping and filling up the flowers pots with primroses. We are totally into spring here and I am going to try and buy daffodils this week.
