What a Difference a Week Makes!

Looking at the daffodils blooming now, who would have believed that exactly one week ago today, we had all this snow!!! A joke where I live in North Carolina is that if you don't like the weather, wait a few days and it will change. That was quite evident this past week.

We have had a really cold/snowy winter for our climate here in North Carolina, but I do believe that spring is here. Last week, we had all this snow and today it was 71 degrees and the daffodils are blooming.

Last Wednesday, March 3rd, this is what it looked like as I drove to work. The kids missed another day of public school that day.

Today at work, we played outside most of the day and we were comfortable with just our shirt sleeves. Last week it was freezing! BRRRR!! I can't believe the difference a week makes in the weather, but I am sure not complaining. It was so beautiful outside today.

I am so ready for spring to officially arrive, the days to get longer, the time to change and the leaves and flower blossoms to come out on the trees. The robins have already started showing up and digging for worms. Plus, March is my birthday month. YEA!

I hope the weather is improving where you live and that you can enjoy God's beauty that is evident all around you!

  3. That's the same thing they say here in Oklahoma. If you don't like the weather wait a day and it'll be different. It usually is!

  8. We had 54 and drizzle today. I guess that is better than cold and snow. &0 and sunshine would be better.

  10. It's raining today, but that brings on the spring flowers so I am trying not to complain. At least it isn't snow. I was outside all day yesterday working in the yard. It was great!

  13. Yes it is turning to spring here in CA too. The rain has finally gone away. I think!

    Your flowers are so pretty.

    Good luck getting all your basement cleaned out. I need to get into my garage. I've been working on my office. It's going super slow! LOL

    Hugs,
