Sara, your haiku beautifully captures the astonishing and rare phenomenon of nature's sudden transformations. The concept of snowfall in the midst of summer is truly unprecedented and leaves one in awe.

Lasaad, I have never known it to snow here in summer but somewhere earlier this year after winter was over there was unexpected snowfall. Thanks for all your visits to my page. Sara

Some of the sudden changes in nature are so unexpected. Snowing in summer is unheard of. Great haiku dear Sara.

Valsa, well, it is rare for there to be snow where citrus grows. Man has learned it won't grow in the wrong climate. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

OoHoo! Been There! Here in Alberta there is a saying, "If you don't like the weather --- wait a minute." You never know what the weather will do from one minute to the next. Great little Haiku here. God Bless. JB

So glad it put a smile on your summer face. It has been a hot one this year, but we have been blessed in that we have not had it as bad here as some areas of the world and USA. Lots of thunder here now with the possibility of rain which we need. Your visit added a special touch. Sara

Unexpectedly we also had a a few snow flakes falling all around Johannesburg, but not in our garden - Johannesburg might see snow once in 8 years but in many other towns and provinces they do get snow.BLESSINGS GALORE - Jennifer.

Jennifer, In Florida, a state close to us has snow very seldom but they do have it about every 10 years or so and it is always a treat to the citrus crops there. Your visit is uplifting. Sara
