Snow! I really hope the poor columbine makes it....

My dad was just here. My parents had some flowers dug up while foundation work was being done on their house, and one columbine was sent over here. It's in my back yard now, part way over, on the theory that if it survives and seeds down, a patch of columbines will look nice there and not invade the neighbor's yard.

I'm not sure if it will make it or not. We settled it in properly, but it's late in the year and the weather - which has been too warm for this time of year until recently - has decided to turn far colder than normal. Up above about 500 feet there is snow and it is, apparently, sticking. Theoretically we were going to be below the snow here, although very chilly. However, just a bit ago i looked out and that was white flaky stuff falling. Now it looks more like sleet than snow. At no point has it been tempted to stick, but....

Weird. Very weird weather.
