Snow in Late May?

Horrors!

While the weather has been cooler than normal, it hasn't been that cool. I'm just having a little fun here. It's not snow, but the petals from my neighbor's Black Cherry tree,

which is in full bloom.

We've had what the Brits call some "heavy weather," which has blown the tiny petals off the tree and scattered them all over the garden.

While I'm happy it rained, did it have to come down in torrents while I was buying annuals for my mom at the nursery? Am I the only one, or does anyone else shop for plants in the rain?
