Spring 2022!

On Easter Sunday morning I woke up to this.

A skiffer of snow!

But by 1pm it looked like this

I snatched up my camera and went out to take a few photos of the brave spring flowers.

A tiny red tulip
Two little muscari will be out in full bloom soon.

Just when I thought it was safe to assume that spring was almost here this happened. April 18 in the afternoon.

A spring blizzard. Snow is forecast to continue all night. If I wanted to live in the Yukon I could have moved there! I hope the weather deities will give us a break soon!

Spring 2022 in South Ontario Canada! I hope to respond to the Spring Festival 2022 with some more spring like photos soon!

  1. […] wasn’t the only one: Anne of Horse Addict experienced quite the snow event herself! She did manage to share some pretty spring florals before […]

    Brrr, I’m going to have to quit complaining about our spring weather being too cold. You do have some beautiful flowers, though. Since it’s almost May, I would think that the weather would start to warm up. Happy belated Easter, Anne. 🙂

      Happy Belated Easter to you too Marsha! Things are looking up here and today it is just raining!😊

        Better rain than snow, right? I hope you have a continued lovely spring and summer.

          Yes it is but it is still pretty cool.

    Your Easter Sunday morning started exactly like ours but our snow carpet was more up in the hills than on the ground at our house. But it was the coldest Easter I ever spent in my life. Great shots, Anne, of the flowers making their spring presence known. Love that delicate red tulip. Save some of those flowers for this Sunday Stills post Fab florals!

    April is always fun of surprises!

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      Unfortunatley yes. But this was a surprise I was not too happy about. 😄

    Wow Anne – isn’t that amazing?! I love that the little flowers survived winter’s last breath (hopefully!!)

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      They did survive. Even the big afternoon blizzard.

    Wow! Difficult to believe these photos are in the same day 😅 What a difference ☺️

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      Indeed! It was amazing.

    No snow here, but below average temps keep hanging on. I’m ready for it to be done!

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      We now have some sunshine and most of the snow had gone but still cool. I am eadyfor spring too and I didn’t even spend the winter here.

      1. sandyjwhite Avatar

        Bet it takes some time to adjust after the warm Florida weather.

        1. anne leueen Avatar

          Yes it does for us and for the horses.That’s why I have had Biasini is warmer blankets that the horses who have been here all winter. Today I moved him down to medium weight as the forecast is for slighlty warmer temps.

            Makes a lot of sense, Anne.

          2. anne leueen Avatar

            Yes. Thanks for your omments!

    Those first blooms must be very hardy indeed to cope with such extremes!

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      Yes they are. Once the snow melted off them they are still there and standing up saying Hello again.

        Miraculous!

    Oh dear! Still getting snow flurries. I see in the comments the horses arrived back home. I’m glad they make nice warm blankets for them. It’s pretty to look at as your photos are beautiful, but I don’t much like that freezing cold weather. Stay warm!! 🥰

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      Yes. the horses from Florida all arrived yesterday. I put on a 300 weight stable blanket with a belly band and a serious turn out blanket with a neck for today. It is sunny today and a bit warmer so I have gone to medium stable blanket and a lighter turn out but still has a neck on it.

    Thank goodness I didn’t see any snow as I have struggled with the cold weather here 🥶

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      It is brutal here. Only a few degrees above freezing for the daytime high and below at night. The horses got back from Florida today and we had to put all of them into winter weight blankets as they will be feeling the big change in temperatures. I’m like you I don’t like cold.

        Spring whiplash. I feel you.

        1. anne leueen Avatar

          Yup. Whiplash is a good word to use for this weather .

      2. susiesopinions Avatar

        I will be the opposite. 5 layers of clothing down to one ☀️

        1. anne leueen Avatar

          Yes you will. I loved being in Florida and missing all the cold and snow and ice!
