We got ice yesterday. Enough to coat everything for most of the day. Sadly, that means many of my spring flowers are going to be done. The hyacinths were already almost there, but the daffodils were still going strong and one was yet to open. We froze bad enough, I have no clue if that one will pull through or not. Same goes for my single tulip.
I’m more worried about my choke cherry tree, though. It had just started putting on buds. It is going to be so sad if it doesn’t bloom this year. Or worse, that the freeze was hard enough to kill it. I don’t think it was, but it seems like the bushes and trees in my yard already struggle to thrive in our horrible clay.
I did get some really amazing photos, but it still makes me sad to have all that color go away more quickly than it should have.
Sorry about the ice. Seems like spring is not playing nice this year.

No kidding! Hopefully this is the last gasp for winter now.

So sorry to hear about the sleet. It does so much damage.
That’s a great photo, though.

It is just yuk. I’m grateful we don’t have a second day of freezing and rain, but it is still frickin’ cold today. Really needing some warm, sunny days that stick around right now. It is such a let down to have this after so many nice days.
