Snow in April

It snowed last night on Whidbey Island. This morning I woke up to find about an inch of snow on the ground. There have been snow showers on and off all morning. The cats have shown no interest in going outside. I went for a walk in the garden with a cup of tea and my camera. It seemed important to record visual evidence of snow in western Washington on April 19. I understand that sets a new record for the latest snowfall in spring.

Pruning in the Snow

About a week ago I went out to prune deadwood from a Ceanothus bush in my yard. I was dressed for rain as it had been raining off and on. While I was deep in the heart of the bush, it started to snow. "Oh well," I thought, "I may as well keep pruning." After a while the snow stopped and the sun came out. Just another normal spring day in western Washington!
