Spring-time in Vermont
....Trouble for TULIPS

Where I live in northern Vermont- weather folklore is as colorful and varied as the people who live here. While many sayings are based on careful observations and turn out to be accurate, others are merely rhymes or beliefs of the people who came before me and turn out NOT to be true.
Those beliefs often included ideas that there should be a balance in weather and life as noted in one of the better known weather idioms- "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" So... if a month came in rough (roaring like a lion), it should go out serene and peaceful (docile, like a lamb) In Vermont, however, it has been slightly modified to "Spring in like a lion and out like a lamb" as March is a little too early to think about spring this far north.
My whole point of this explanation is the photo shown here. It was taken on May 2nd...well into the spring season and as the TULIPS covered in snow show there was nothing serene and peaceful about the way spring was going out. While the very late season snow surprised me AND the spring flowers it didn't last more than a couple of days and these TULIPS, although a tad battered, did survive.... And I learned to NOT put much faith in that particular piece of weather folklore anymore.
