Let it snow, but not here

When we got home, one of our jobs was to go through the mail.  There was an envelope from one of my friends with a sticker on the back."Let it snow", it said   I got a kick out of the words she added,  "but not here". 

Don't have to worry about that  I thought, It's the end of April!

Well, this morning it's snowing!  Terry gave a blow-by-blow prediction of the coming snow with his weather app, so we knew it was coming.

Yesterday we drove 48 km to where Baby B [ our little travel trailer] is parked [we can no longer park at the condo] just to drain the water out of the lines.  The temperatures were supposed to plummet to -8° C or something like that, and he was taking no chances with frozen lines.  Been there, done that.

Today at 9:00 am the snow is swirling outside.  Predicted depth is 10 or more cm.  As I looked out the window and turned on the gas fireplace, I thought of an old hymn.  At first it didn't seem to make sense to me,

Fairest Lord Jesus, 

Ruler of all nature....

I'd always thought of the hymn as one extolling beautiful springtime flowers and such. 

Ruler of all nature... Hmm... Yes, He rules all nature.  For some reason we have snow in Alberta at the end of April.  Who knows why.  It makes no sense, but it's a fact.  I'll just have to go with the flow, and not let the weather define me. I may not continue gardening today, but there are plenty of indoor tasks that need attention.

Happy Spring in Alberta!
