We have seen all sorts of weather this week in Vermont from HUGE winter storm that dumped up to 2 feet of snow in Northern Vermont, to pouring rain, wind and summer like days.

This picture is of the first daffodil of the season.
I took it last Saturday afternoon, the 24th of April.



The spring garden...daffodils and tulips waiting to open. Taken Saturday April 24th.



We had a gorgeous weekend, the 24th and 25th. Summer like weather, sunny skies and a nice breezes....then Tuesday night the 27th it started....THE SNOW....it started snowing in the afternoon and snowed all night and all day Wednesday....

Tues Night the 27th



Wednesday Morning April 28th



Before the snow turned to rain in the late afternoon on Wednesday we had over 10 inches of heavy wet snow. TOOOOOO went for snow balls and snowmen. I took the following pictures of my poor tulips in the afternoon when it was still snowing.

This picture is being published in several newspapers this week.








All the snow we had was gone by Thursday afternoon. It rained all night on Wednesday and the sun came out on Thursday. AND by Friday it was near 70. This weekend we are back to hot and humid summer like temps. It is near 80 today. The sun is out and feel like any lovely summer day.

I have been in the recycled tire garden this morning. i pulled all the weeds from under and in the tires....went to our local garden center and bought all the new peat, compost and other dirts and plan to spend the afternoon replenishing the tires. It still is too early to put anything in the ground, except for the peas which I planted over 3 weeks ago and are doing well.

So heading out soon to get down and dirty in the garden.

I hope everyone is well out there is stewie land.

Good to see you, Michele.
It looks like you had some dreadful weather there. Amazing temp swings...
It was a shame that your tulips got covered with snow, but one of your pics was very nice with the snow on the side of the tulip.

Sjoerd, I am having that picture of the tulip published in a couple of the local papers...and I am having it framed. It is gorgeous....the upside of snow this time of year is that is doesn't stay around long and the temps don't get cold enough to damage anything.

That is really something to be proud of Michele. It is such a special shot. Well done, you.
If it had been part of the Pic. of the month contest on here, I would have most definately voted for it.

A special foto, that.
