Why the tulips were fleeting

After 80 degrees on Monday and Tuesday, this was Wednesday.
Coloradans, you are not alone in experiencing dramatic shifts in weather.

Beautiful! Why not make notecards from this one?

Chateau, I may.
A lilac on the east side of the house is suddenly starting to bloom (first flowers opened Sat. April 13, most are not yet open); the one on the north side had iced buds but still seems far from it.

Beautiful! But also kindof heartbreaking. Still frigid here, but I did see some bulb flowers sprouting at long, long last. We're in a marthon 2 weeks of 40 degree highs and daily rain.

Ad Astra, enjoy when the spring does come! I'm never sure if I prefer the gradual progression into spring or the sudden and dramatic arrival of summer eight times during the season, like we have here.
It was shorts weather yesterday. I think it might snow again tonight.
