Oh, what a difference a day makes! I made photos of this lovely dogwood in my yard while feeding the birds Tuesday morning.

Here’s the same area of the yard approximately 24 hours later.

Welcome to April in Ohio where a forty degree shift in daytime temperatures isn’t considered unusual at all. Snow in April? Why not.

Winter is my second favorite season and snow is something to be savored where I live so it was fun waking up to an unexpectedly white landscape. However, the fun was squelched with worry for all the little living things trying to survive out there in the cold.

The snow was short lived. Despite ongoing flurries throughout the day, it was mostly melted by lunchtime and the sun even made an appearance late in the day.

What will today bring? It’s honestly hard to tell but it’s Ohio so if you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes. It will change.
