Always winter, never Christmas.

We woke up this morning to snow:


Happy May Day!  <-- sarcasm. :-P

Good things about snow at this ridiculous time of year:

1. You get cool pics of snow & spring flowers.



2. It helps the Robins remember why they leave every fall. (The lucky stinkers)


3. Epic bragging rights. I mean really. "Yeah ... we just had snow in May. No biggie."
[coughcough]


4. We sympathize better with the Narnians and their hundred year winter. [shudder]


5. We get an excuse to use extreme sarcasm.
"Welcome back to winter! I hope you enjoyed your summer. The whole two days of it." Quote from our music pastor this morning. :-P

[side-note: I love this last picture. Look at all the textures of the different leaves and twigs, the different shades of green contrasted with the snow. Lovely.]


6. And lastly, we get to practice our optimism.


When Aslan bears his teeth, winter meets its death. When he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

  2. Obviously SOMEBODY needs to go find Aslan. I'm about ready to have all the Minnesotans sign a petition and send it heaven-ward.

  3. Oh wow! I can't even imagine snow in May. I live in Texas, so if we even get snow at all, it's like two inches in February. Haha :) Anyway, those pictures are lovely! I like the contrast of the green spring and the white winter.
