Like much of the rest of the Midwest, and Northern United States, this morning here in Iowa, we all woke up to a spring snowstorm. Which is interesting since on Tuesday, it was sunny and 80 degrees here. My little man Reid and I spent a fun afternoon at the park. Try to explain to a little guy why one day we were able to wear shorts and the next we need to get out heavy coats. This morning Reid woke up, looked out the window and started to cry, "I don't like snow anymore!" Me either.
This is a lovely picture taken at the Iowa Arboretum during an Iowa spring. In contrast, here is a photo of my own white Crabapple tree during the spring snowstorm. The flowers had just started to bud and bloom a day or two ago. Oh well, by this weekend, the snow will be gone and it may be 80 degrees again!
Iowa must look like one of the grayest places on earth by these pictures, but believe it or not there is green grass under that snow!
This weekend my husband and I will be attending a Kentucky Derby themed party so tomorrow's mission will be to find/create interesting hats. I will be on a quest to find, create, or buy a hat in honor of the "Running for the Roses" with a vintage flair. Wish me luck!
