It's a world of discovery out there if we take the time to notice and appreciate it.
We had our first snowfall last Thursday and it was exciting for all of us.
Ben was away and I was on snow removal duty so I didn't have much time to take photos or videos, but I did manage this cute one.
The snow was preceded by a 70 degree drop in temperature, from a high of 83 degrees on Wednesday afternoon to a record breaking low of 13 degrees late Wednesday night. As you can imagine, this wrecked havoc on our plants. A freezing rain coated most plants with ice, after which we received three and a half inches of snow.
Knowing what was coming I took some last photos of our lovely blossoms.
But the the frozen leaves had a beauty of their own.
The raised railroad tie beds in our backyard had just been replaced with stone ones and the yard was still quite messy with new sod and loose soil. As Turbo played in it, he got quite dirty and a bath was clearly in order.
Days of such adventure result in a happily tired dog!

Your puppy is so adorable! He looks like a stuffed toy in that last photo! Snow...WOW! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteMary - yes, I can relate to the sudden change in weather! We can take a lesson from your puppy and slow down to take pleasure in the simplest things, such as swirling leaves. I agree with Diane - Turbo could be a stuffed animal in that last photo. Enjoy the rest of your week, and thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteYour snow was a bit more serious than ours... Turbo would have been disappointed. He is just delightful.....
ReplyDeleteoh my dog. He is just so cute. And poodly in his expressions. Yep, it's all new. this morning Milo had to investigate a scarecrow, as it had a face but was too still... very suspect. I remember when my lab chelsea saw the snow when we moved from Fl. to MD. she was amazed.
ReplyDeleteTurbo is terrific!
