Well it just had to happen. The Peach Tree just decided it was time to flower and along comes an April snow shower. Looks iffy for peaches again this year. However, given the lack of moisture we have had this spring five inches or so of an April shower is truly a welcomed event and perhaps will bring May flowers.
The melting snow will keep the temps from going below freezing. They might survive and give you peaches.
Hi Jim, we will see it was well below freezing last night. This happens most years and peaches seem to come only about once every 3-4 years. We have tried to cover the tree from time to time but got lazy this year.
Crossing my fingers for the peaches!
Thanks, it is going to take a little luck and sunshine. Hope your day is going well.
Very pretty like a Japanese print, but a little sad, too.
Hi Eliza, yes there is a yin-yangness to the late season snow this year. Probably another year without peaches yet we sure did need the moisture and all the plants will be very happy.
It captures natures moment of harsh reality so beautifully Mike.
Thanks Val. Hop your spring is treating you well.

Hull - Where the US goes the UK often follows. This is especially true of negatives. If the US has extreme weather we usually experience similar a few days later. If violent crime increases across the Pond likewise in the UK. Then there is shopping madness.
The UK is taking up traditional US activities such as Christmas shopping bargain days that leave customers with empty wallets and a range of unwanted goods.
Black Friday has just passed and today is Cyber Monday. Each have become big shopping days on both sides of the Pond. Last Friday many people hit the shops attracted by huge price cuts and today the same is happening online. Is all as it seems though?
As usual the answer is probably not.
It is so easy to get sucked into spending unnecessarily. You buy in haste and repent at leisure. This year remember it is still in reality a consumer market. Businesses want your trade. That does not stop some of them throwing the odd rogue item into the pot.
This year more than ever retailers will be trying hard to get you to part with your hard-earned money. There will be pre-Christmas sales and bargains long after today. With Christmas a few weeks away perhaps it would be wiser to hang fire. Shop around, be it online or on the High Street, take your time and purchase well.
Bargains are sometimes far from that. They could be second-rate, last year's model or simply stock that is hard to shift. Once it is dressed up with a fancy cut-price sign you may find it hard to resist.
Consider all the implications of your purchase before you buy.
1- If you buy online there may be delivery charges but you will be saving a potentially expensive trip to town which could be full of hassle.
2 - Emails dropping into your inbox, that offer great bargains, can be tempting. However, if you purchase an item you had no intention of buying is it really a bargain? Probably not, especially if money is tight.
Having some idea of what you want to buy helps. If you shop "blind" you will be more likely to spend more than you should. Online retail oulets, just like the shops, are full of goods you never knew you wanted or needed and in many cases cannot afford.
Cyber Monday also increases the temptation to buy now and pay later. Not a good idea. Pay for purchases online with a switch or debit card so you are not paying for Christmas well into the New Year or even beyond.
One factor specific to the UK is that this week Chancellor George Osborne will announce to the country his Autumn statement, or Budget. It is doubtful that it will have a real positive effect on retail trade but it could. It could also cost you dearly in many ways. Brits take care and look after your money this cyber Monday.
Perhaps the rest of you would be wise to follow suit too!

EVB's office is right along the Warriors victory parade route, and in eager anticipation, my partner and I wanted to do something special for our favorite player: Draymond Green.
In commemoration of his infamous "Yup." interview with Roz at the 2015 victory parade, and his interview in 2017 where he expressed his desire to "annihilate" the Cavs, we created two banners that produced results that not even we were expecting.
If it weren't for his buddies, Draymond may have never seen the banner.
Huge thanks to Scott Strazzante for snapping the shot that made it into the Chronicle.

Some days I wonder if wedding banquets in Singapore, especially the traditional Chinese sit-down dinner is for the married couple or for the married couple’s parents. You know what I mean, in a room of 40 tables, 15 tables are for the bride’s extended family, 15 tables are for the groom’s extended family. The remaining tables are either for friends of the bride and groom or to put relatives that no one really wants to acknowledge. Like that weird uncle who’s starting to look more and more like his possessed Chihuahua.
No matter what your guest arrangement, you’ll need to find a hotel that provides a wedding package that fits your needs, including your budget. Here is a summary of how much a wedding banquet will cost you this year.
Don’t expect most of the wedding invitations you receive this year to be held at luxury hotels. While Singaporeans don’t seem to have a problem paying about $1200 per table, prices per table have gone up so sharply in the past few years that $1200 is now on the low end.
If you’re okay with picking a hotel that’s a little off the beaten track, then exchange convenience for comfort with a 4 Star hotel. Do note that, generally speaking, these hotels have a higher requirement for the minimum number of tables you can request for.
Though there aren’t too many 3 Star hotels that provide wedding packages, you’re definitely going to save by holding your wedding at one of these hotels.
Other than resorting to a 3 Star hotel, how do you get yourself a lower table rate?
There are many benefits to having a wedding banquet at a hotel, like enjoying a complimentary stay in their suites, and getting special rates for rooms for your family and helpers. But with the rising prices of hotel wedding banquets, these little extras just don’t seem as worthwhile anymore.
Consider having your wedding banquet at an alternative location. Country clubs like Orchid Country Club and Serangoon Gardens Country Club offer table rates of at least $798 and $788 respectively. Orchid Country Club’s package even includes a one night stay in their Bridal Suite, so there’s no reason not to choose it over a hotel.
Paying for a wedding banquet is no small sum of money, so you might as well get something out of it. Citibank credit cards and UOB credit cards usually have exclusive wedding promotions with certain hotels and restaurants. Alternatively, you can just choose a good air miles credit card to charge your wedding banquet to, and use the miles you’ve earned to pay for your honeymoon.
This one seems like an obvious suggestion, since for several hotels, banquets on Saturday have their prices marked up by at least $100 per table. That’s savings of at least $3000 to $4000 alone by not having it on Saturday. But price really isn’t the only reason you should be considering having your banquet on another day. Think of how physically stressful a traditional wedding day can be.
For many couples, the day begins ridiculously early with the bride getting made up and into her gown. The men aren’t entirely spared either, with the groom and his entourage going through the horrors of gate crashing and bridal games (and the delays they often cause). Then there’s the wedding ceremony itself, which can take up to two hours.
Depending on how dramatic a wedding banquet gets, the married couple may not even get to eat! Before the dinner is over, the bride needs to at least have had a couple of outfit changes, and also gone from table to table taking photographs. So by the time the banquet ends late at night, the happily married couple are often happy to retire to bed, and I don’t mean for baby-making purposes.
By holding your wedding banquet on another day, like Sunday, you not only have more time to celebrate, but you also give yourself and your partner enough breathing room to enjoy your wedding weekend.
I don’t care how popular you are on Facebook. There’s no need to invite your entire friend list and their cat to your wedding. If your in-laws are being difficult and want to book like, 10 tables, for their long lost relations and old friends from their kampung days, then now you have the perfect excuse to reject them – the hotel ballroom just isn’t big enough.
The best part is, choosing a smaller hotel ballroom might actually save you a substantial amount of money. Smaller 4 Star hotels offer a table rate that’s almost half the price compared to other 4 Star hotels. For example, for a Saturday banquet, the Grand Mercure along East Coast Road is about $888 per table, and Hotel Royal along Queen Street is even less at $598 per table!
A banquet at Amara for 40 tables would cost at least $43520. A banquet at the Grand Mercure for 35 tables would cost about $31080. Just cutting 50 people off from your guest list could save you over $10000. That’s definitely a lot of money that you can add to your honeymoon fund.
Plus, you don’t have to invite that weird uncle with the Chihuahua from hell.
