Summer-like weather arrives
Welcoming warmth, nature thrives
Snowy cold gone, long banished
Winter’s shadow, now vanished
Beaches open, pools start up
Outdoor chores now piling up
Paradise smiles, open now
But wait! Winter’s final bow
Halt, recall nature’s humor
Winter’s back, not a rumor
Over Montana’s Big Sky
Snowflakes dance, find their bullseye
Cold and snow rudely drop in
Wrecking spring, crashing tailspin
How can this accident be?
Cold slides in, snow covers trees
Blessed with nature’s fairytale
Big Sky folks laugh, “Spring’s in jail”
Cornering winter’s good cheer
Just waiting a day my dear
Tomorrow’s change now coming
Spring’s freedom and homecoming
A freak event of nature found Montana turned in a winter wonderland over a period of a couple of days. In the meantime, nearly all of the United States was enjoying the arrival of an early summer. At times, living under the Big Sky does require a sense of humor.

During the heat of July and August I wish for winter. During the freeze of January I wish for summer. lol

Thanks Susan for sharing. Yes, nature is in control. My family back in Montana were digging in their closets for warmer coats while I was walking in shorts and a lighter weight shirt.

I agree Michael. I am trying to get my preparations finished to drive out to Montana in a couple of weeks. My mother needs some help with things. I hope you can travel as well.

Thanks Jim. I was moved to write this poem after Montana again received winter while central Ohio was basking in early summer heat.

we had 90 degree weather over the weekend. I’m not complaining, but it does seem a bit early for weather like that…

Loved this poem! We had a sudden snow in Virginia one April a few years ago! Everyone took pictures and no one could believe it! 🙂 Nature does surprise us!
