Spring Snow


Yesterday it was 88 F and it's easy for me to forget that some folks in the country still have snow on the ground. This is the white variety of Pandorea jasminoides growing in my previous garden. There's also a ruby throated variety.


My large winter white blue snowflake bowl was featured in an etsy treasury yesterday called Spring Snow. Check it out, lots of pretty snowflakes to see.

Spring Snow is also a novel by Yukio Mishima, the first in his series Sea of Fertility tetralogy. The book was adapted to a movie by the same name in 2005.



Here is Utada Hikaru singing Goodbye Happiness. Despite it's title the song is upbeat and Utada's energy abounds in the video. Her hit song, Be My Last, was in the soundtrack for the film Spring Snow. I'm off to my pine needle basket class, more later.

  4. Hi Lori, thanks, it has been so long since I went to the movies I am out of touch with a lot of new singers and was impressed with Utada's voice, she has quite a range.

  6. I love your snowflake bowl, the blue on white is very delicate and ethereal. Our snow here is melting, the spring rain plus the runoff of melting mountain snow is flooding the rivers and creeks. Still only a high of 50 here today, a little jealous of your 88. :)
