May’s fools joke

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

For anyone who doesn’t know, my favourite quote is where I got my blog name from. Bloom where you’re planted.

I took on and clung to this saying years ago when I realized I was probably stuck living up north for forever, and there was nothing to do but make the best of it.

But on mornings like today, when May arrives like it did, it’s takes a lot of grit to keep on blooming.

Looking out my living room window when I woke up! Ughhhh
Okay so it’s pretty.
Needed my platform boots this morning to keep my feet dry

  3. snow in april/may. i won’t miss it but I suppose 2-3 years of experiencing it makes you appreciate both living in that condition and seeing demarcations of each season where I am.

    it is beautiful though CJ, but I can understand how it makes everything that much harder. btw – love that saying. that’s going to stay with me. Mike

      1. Yeah, well, I don’t think of that do I! I would love it if it snowed here, looks so clean and pretty, and your inside in winter anyway so it might as well be snowing. Anyway, yes the grass (or snow) is always greener!

  8. No. No, No – and to hell No!!!
    LOL. I would have been crazy mad if I woke up and saw all that snow.
    In Minnesota, it’s a common thing all the way through the middle of May sometimes, but thankfully – I think – (and I say this very quietly, so Mother Nature doesn’t hear) ha – that we’re finally in Spring. I hope!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‚
    Cute boots!

      1. Yep. Same thing here up North in Minnesota. I just heard that many places are going to be getting storms and MORE SNOW because of some system coming through.
        I swear – if I see one more flurry and it’s May, I’m headed to Florida. lol.
