Fall, winter, spring, winter, winter, winter …

I’ve lived in Wichita for the better part of my life, and I still don’t know what normal Kansas weather is. Does this look like spring to you?

That’s the view from my front porch this afternoon. Aside from a few patches of green at ground level, it looks like February, not April.

There are more hard freezes predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I wonder if this will be another year without lilacs. Here are pictures of the last few daffodils. They most likely will be gone Tuesday.

Update: uploaded brightened versions of the daffodil pictures. The light Sunday was dull, but not that dull.
