SNOW!!!

OMG! It finally snowed! The weathermen have been teasing us for weeks. We got some kind of crappy ice/fake snow/sleet junk at the end of January, but on Friday, we got honest to goodness snow! Very exciting, if poorly timed...

The snow began to fall around 5:00 and accumulated pretty quickly. As I always do when it snows, I ran around the house like a crazy person, driving poor Sadie insane.

I believe this picture was taken around 8:30 with a couple of inches on the ground already.

Sadie paws!
At around 10:00, Sadie and I were watching the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics. I decided it was time for snow cream. I went outside and collected some "clean" snow and made a small bowl for myself and for Sadie. She is a fan...


I woke up at around 7:30 on Saturday morning. The world was white and fluffy, but there was a very menacing yellow orb in the sky. So I rushed out to take a few more pictures.



As quickly as it came, it was gone. The stupid sun has refused to shine for weeks. We've endured cold, cloudy days and days of pouring rain. We finally got some snow on the ground, and out came the sun to take it all away. *SIGH* Well, it was beautiful while it lasted. I'm sure people with children or someone else to play with enjoyed their day making snowmen and throwing snowballs. I just enjoyed knowing it was out there, white and beautiful, if only for a little while.
