A lot of people in NH woke up to a nasty surprise this morning.  Snow.  It’s the 14th of May for crying out loud,  and Mother’s Day to boot! Despite this unfortunate spite from mother nature, I am forging on. Began the day having a nice breakfast with Alex in spite of the cold, driving rain. Later Steve and I went for a drive to visit some nurseries – tromping around in the rain, buying plantings for a warmer day.  Of course, as a member of the seasonal police, I was on high alert during our ride – taking note of all the faux pas in people’s yards. Anyone who has an orange Christmas wreath on their door on Mother’s Day, TAKE IT DOWN! It requires minimal effort!  I saw several of these today, along with window boxes full of poinsettias, and one very sad squishy pumpkin on a doorstep. Red bows, reindeer, drippy lights hanging off the roof – got to go! I know it’s cold, but the expiration date has passed on Christmas  decorations. Came home, poured myself a cabernet ( my cold weather wine) and defiantly hung my new plant. Enough already.
