This is Spring?!

Earlier this week we had a touch of spring- cool but it felt like spring.  the lilacs are in full bloom and we have more and bigger blossoms than we've had in many years.  

The pictures don't really do them justice because they are mostly deep purple and the bushes are loaded.

But last night it started to rain, with what was forecasted to be 2 inches, and because the lilacs were already weakened and beaten down from all the late, heavy snow, this is what we have out there today.  More branches broken off, half of them touching the ground, and they are loaded with water.

The good news is I have a few peas sprouted in the garden boxes.  We'll see what the possible SNOW this weekend looks like.
