I asked, "Are you new to Colorado?"
The woman said, "Yes! We just moved from California!!"
I asked if they were planning on planting those flowers into the ground.
"Well, of course silly!!"
I just smiled as the man looked at me with a "Wait, why is he smiling?" look on his face.
Must have been about $400 worth flowers....

Every year we see or hear that from someone, especially on Nextdoor. The ones who have been here long enough know better than to trust these "false Springs". Like clockwork though some will plant something outside during this time of year only to be disappointed when the inevitable snow and cold come back.
