The Oh So Chilly Month of May....wait, thought it was meant to be "the Merry...., wait, Snowy!

OK, so I have heard of the very unusual "Spring" snow in April, but don't "poosh" it and bring us snow in May...it was so cold last night (30's) on May 4, it didn't surprise me when I was woken to bright sunlight and loud noises! Turns out it snowed after we went to bed, and was so sunny and warmer by morning on May 5, that chunks of snow were falling off the roof! Now, I am going to garden....global warming I tell you!



Hope the fruit trees in the orchard are not ruined!!










I always love my daffodils and tulips in the Springtime



Violas everywhere



First weekend of May took Rock and I to see Mr. Bill at his beautiful home on Lake Pend Oreille. The weather was somewhat chilly and rainy, however, it was perfect to initiate Bill's new BIG screen home theater (projector). We watched Avatar, 2010/12 on the new big screen. We ate good food, drank good wine and just relaxed. It was a nice pre-Mother's Day getaway.
