Interruption

Yesterday's sunshine must have encouraged the gladioli to bloom, but this afternoon they are drooping, weighed down by rain. Tonight they might get frozen, as there is a possibility that the snow level will drop this low. I've never seen the white gladioli blooming while there was snow on the ground. That could be an interesting sight, but I'd gladly miss it to keep the gladioli and lilacs and rose buds from getting frostbit.

Oh, crap, here comes another afternoon thunderstorm. I'd better shut down.

Let's see, where was I when I was so rudely interrupted by feral electricity?

Oh, yes. The possibility of snow tonight. Well, it's snowing right now. I just looked out the window and the lawn is already white.

And tonight is the night the wheelie bin is supposed to go out. I'd better get it out quick or I'll be slipping and sliding all the way down the driveway. I hope the snow doesn't prevent tomorrow's trash pickup, or if the plow comes by it doesn't heap snow around the bin so the trash truck can't reach it, or if the trash does get picked up there isn't too much snow on the ground tomorrow for me to drag the bin back into the yard.

And all this on top of that disruptive electrical storm.

If it snows all day tomorrow it will be the worst April Fool prank the weather has ever pulled on me. And I'm always so nice to the weather, too, paying it so much attention and writing about it all the time. Ingrate! The weather is a real dick.
