How is it possible (in Seattle anyway; it may be normal in Denver!) to eat dinner outside at 7:00 pm one Saturday, and have two inches of snow the next Saturday?  Especially in the second half of April!  Just goes to show that anythng is possible.

Snow bedecked blossoms are a rare sight, very memorable in fact. and the flowers don't seem to be bothered.  A couple of weeks ago, the daffodils were bent under 6 inches of snow - the same weight that broke our huge dogwood tree in half.  But as soon as the snow melted, the daffodil blooms emerged and stood back up, as perky as before. 

A lesson for us, maybe?  Another parable?  its amazing how much of the weight of life we can survive if we are flexible and keep smiling.  I think I'm even beginning to learn this truth!  Beginning, I said.
