FLOWERS IN APRIL – FOTD – 04/22/2019
Speaking of changing, what a month! For that matter, what a couple of months this has been. Crazy weather.
The Sunny Gallery
It has been raining relentlessly forever, it seems. We get a couple of nice days … then a week of gray weather and pouring rain. No worries about dry rivers this year!

Not that crazy isn’t an inherent part of our New England weather. Our weather is unpredictable, especially as winter tries to turn into spring — and usually fails, until May when suddenly, it’s summer.
An Easter bouquet
It was lovely here Monday and Tuesday. Blue skies, warm weather and the song of the Carolina Wren can be heard all around the property. Today the gray weather showed up again, but it’s not supposed actually rain again until Friday and Saturday. But no sunshine, either.
Tomorrow, there will be rain and wind — but after that, I’m hoping to clean up the garden before the rest of the flowers open. It’s hard to rake when the daylilies are blooming. And half the rhododendrons are dead and need cutting back.

Are you getting rain all the time too? It has been raining three out of every four days. Good to have water, but a little sunshine would be nice, too.

This is one of my favourite times of year (if it didn’t rain so much and was a little warmer). The tulips, daffodils and crocuses are coming along nicely. It seems that whenever I have the time to go into the garden it rains.
Lovely bouquet Marilyn…

That’s exactly what Garry said. I said we should be glad we don’t have to worry about having enough water. So two things to be grateful about … but I would like some sun too!

I have a lot of pictures from Apil and I thought I should use them while it’s still April!

Beautiful photos again, Marilyn. Your flowers and birds are enough to lift anyone’s days. Hope you get the weather to get out in the garden soon. 🙂

Oh poor you! And it’s been glorious since last Wednesday over here – I almost feel guilty! Hope it perks up soon. We’ll probably be back to rain by then. 🙂

Love the picture of the woodpecker at the feeder. The weather here has been weird too. Either pouring with rain for days, “unseasonably cold” or “unseasonably warm”.

I think we need not ask what “climate change” is. I think we are living it.

It’s lighting up my living room. Which is good, because it’s raining. Again.

We’ve had quite a bit of rain too as well as bits of sun. My daughter and fam. Are in hardy, they just had 2 5.4 earthquakes 10 meters down. Pretty shallow. My daughter said she didn’t feel it.
