It's April 4th today and the snow is still here, but rain is forecast and perhaps by later this week the snow will have melted. Our gardening season is short here, it's from May to October. Winter is from January to the end of March and then overlaps into April, and then it is still cold but at least the snow is melting. May 1st comes suddenly and people begin installing their window air conditioning units; at last we can open the windows and turn off the furnace. Here, we all listen to daily weather forecasts, and we wait for this cold weather to end.

| In the sun the snow has already melted |
 |
| Tulips are already coming up |
 |
| This is a hollyhock coming up |
 |
In the sun, where plants are protected and the
snow has melted, tulips are beginning to grow |
