Snow Has Melted

 Rose leaves this morning

Yep, we got snow last week but NOTHING like Buffalo got. It did look and feel like winter, though. Today the temperature feels quite nice because it's above freezing and this morning there was no wind.  YAY!  Sadly, there's no sunshine either.

 Seeds of Japanese anemones

I looked for white this morning and discovered  a patch of fluffy Japanese anemone seeds and...
Grass and Annabelle hydrangea in background

small pockets of snow. It's almost gone!!

    Beautiful and unusual finds. Glad you didn't get it as bad as Buffalo - that's sounded awful for some. I'm looking forward to 70's tomorrow (for one day only, says my husband).

    Glad the first snow is away now. I hope there won't be any massive snow falls there.

    Beautiful images! We've still got some on the ground. It'll depend on how long the warm up lasts.

    Love that first shot especially. Frame it and hang it! It's nice to have warmer weather, right? We'll hit 82 today. Then colder later in the week. But no snow. :)

    The rose leaves look as though they were dipped in gold. I am glad to hear the snow is leaving your neck of the woods … hopefully it will not rise to unmanageable levels at any time during the wintry season.

    It's amazing how quickly the snow disappears EG, mind you I suppose that all depends on how much falls!You got some excellent 'after the snow' shots here.

    Glad you didn't get what Buffalo got! I've been watching all that snow on the news from my cozy chair here in Texas :) Unbelievable.
    Nice shots -- especially the rose leaves -- all those thorns!

    What a wonderful post today! The color of the leaves...you can tell that something is coming. Japanese anemones, they look like poppy seeds on cotton balls. Have you shown the flowers before and I forgot? They sound beautiful.

    I am glad the snow has gone, even if it is only for a while... I know it will be back sometime in the next 6 weeks...

    Hi Tina,
    Hope you're enjoying the snow melting.
    The birdhouse looks really pretty.
    The A. Hydrangea looks great too.
    We have one in the front yard, though I don't know if it is A. Hydrangea or just a Hydrangea.

    Have a Beautiful Day!

    Peace :)

    That's about all we have here too and it's mild today with rain coming tomorrow. I rather like this shift to warmer weather.

    Beautiful images. I am pretty sure you will be getting more snow.We are getting some right now,but it started with freezing rain,which makes driving treacherous.

    Gosh, nada, nothing. I would have expected that the snow that hit Buffalo would have given Ontario a coat of snow, too.

    I'm glad you didn't get what Buffalo got. Wow, that was scary. The golden rose leaves are quite beautiful. Hope the wind and snow stay away from you for a while.
