Snow, Then 55 Degrees

It was snowing when we went to bed Thursday night, though the forecast was for rain and sleet.


We woke to find nearly 4 inches of snow on the ground.


In the early morning, a little freezing rain fell. I couldn't see the mountains.


The rain stopped, and the sound of songbirds drew me out on the front porch. I found finches in the top of the blue spruce.



The snow was lovely.



It is hard to take a bad picture when the world is covered with a delicate white.



This is my neighbor's shed.



The fence out the back door.





Everything is beautiful, in its own way.



By 2 p.m., the temperature had climbed. The thermometer at the kitchen window read 55 degrees.




I noticed a deer had been in the backyard, searching for a little snack.




The scene out the front as the snow melted and the winds began to blow.

  1. Awesome photos, Anita. I especially love the one of the birds in the tree top, and the one with the fence below the shed. Hope you have a good weekend!
