A true pansy laughs off spring snowstorms, shuddering in the wind and cold, but bravely prevailing and shaking off the icy cloak of winter’s death throes. At the time of this writing, I have no idea what sort of snow event we will be getting today, or how it might affect the plants outside. It’s way too early for me to have put anything outside, and the perennials and shrubs will have the power to shrug off the snow as needed. We may lose a few flowers in the process, but such is to be expected in upstate New York.
In the meantime, this glimpse of pansies from the local nursery will provide a happy thing to look upon while we trudge through a decidedly dreary day. Andy had hoped to have the pool open and running by now, though it may be best to wait a bit. No sense in having it snow on that parade.
