Easter Sunday


Easter Sunday
second week of spring
two inches of snow

This was the view at around 6.30 am this morning.

I thought it was unseasonable enough at 5pm on Friday.

See what it was like by 2pm on Spring Haiku 2008.

Ach!! And I was complaining about 40 degrees here in NJ.

Oh, oh, oh. It's getting wearing, isn't it? We're under storm watch again - expecting 4-10 inches before daylight.

Nice picture and truthfully elegant words!

Spring is funny like that isn't it? Considering we are not far from the Brecon Beacons, we haven't had anything to stick, thank goodness!

Derbyshire was the same!

Cold but beautiful, we have had the coldest Easter since 40 years.

We even had a bit of snow and sleet. Not a pretty sight on Easter. I will be happy when it is all behind us for awhile. I like your Ku though.

Andrée said...

I'm glad you got the warmth in the afternoon. You have wonderful flowers blooming. We will. Like in two months.

Cloudscome said...

It is still lovely but I am glad we have it a little warmer! Hope you are blooming soon.

What a fun response to 'spring'. Love it.

Pam said...

I really enjoyed the irony of your poem and the great pictures that showcase just how unpredictable March weather can be.

I would have cried had I awakened to that!

Neva said...

I wish I could feel sorry for you but we got close to 7 inches on Friday.....

Alan Summers said...

Always love a snow image!

Enjoyed the image and words on Spring haiku too!

Roswila said...

Wonderful photo. I'm living where I doubt I'll ever see snow again (sunny southern California USA), but a good haiga like this one about it I will always appreciate. :-)

Princess Haiku said...

Sorry about that snow. Shouldn't it have melted by now?
