April (snow) showers delay May flowers
I've photographed this stand of trees many times on my morning walks. This morning, I was off to an appointment but I had to stop the car, because this sight was just too breathtaking, and I'm not talking about the wind chill.
Despite the fact that it's April 6, and it should NOT be 16 degrees F (-8C), even in Wisconsin. Despite the fact that we were literally trapped in the house during Tuesday's blizzard, without cat food of all things. (Plenty of milk and bread, though.) Despite the fact that it seems like Spring is never gonna get here.
Because the swirling snow, the rising sun, the poofy clouds - they are beautiful. And unless we make an effort to stop and look, we won't see the magnificent beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis.
Did I mention I'd forgotten my gloves? BRRRRR!
