I know Colorado is colder, mainly do to the elevation. But snow in May....really? It just...doesn't seem...right. I'm seeing it out my window and I'm not seeming to grasp that we're really in the month of May. Although the busyness of this month should be giving me a clue.
When we left for church it was cold, but no snow yet. I was determined to still wear open sandals and spring clothing; I don't care how cold it is, it still is spring and I'm done with winter apparel (my boots were packed up several weeks ago!). By 9:30 or 10, the snow started coming down. And by the time we were out of church, a couple inches on snow was dressing all the vehicles.
I was hoping for a mistake in the weather forecast and the snow wouldn't appear. But, nope, the snow is coming. The huge wet flakes that fell to the ground were beautiful...in December only. ;) So, this is the really nasty part. It's only 33 degrees outside. But you know the wind chill factor? THAT makes is 20 degrees. 20 DEGREES in the MIDDLE of May! Can I say it again.....REALLY?? SERIOUSLY????
If you haven't noticed, you should be able to tell by now that I'm not too happy with this cold front this time of year....;)
This is the time for planting in my garden instead of seeing them filled with snow. Those little sticks you see sticking up are my asparagus plants. There's seven spears coming up this year. Hopefully they'll survive the cold. The good thing is the snow will add moisture to the dirt before I plant. However, a garden serves that purpose just fine.
So for now, until the weather warms up for good (or at least for a month or two), I'll keep my garden and flowers indoors.
And turn up the heat.
But....I'm still wearing flip flops....
