While most are yearning for spring and warmer temperatures, I continue to long for some moisture. This winter has been bone dry with few snow storms containing minuscule amounts of the white stuff. Imagine my rejoicing this morning to wake up to a this winter wonderland. I’ll take it. Thank you, Mother Nature.
Any surprises when you woke up this morning?
Live, love, bark 🐾
So jealous of the beautiful white stuff!
Wish we’d get some more. This winter has been more than pitiful in total accumulation.
We’re so glad you finally got some snow!
Thanks, we hope Mother Nature will send some more her the next couple of weeks.
How gorgeous! I think we are done with the rains here until next Winter. Out comes the humidifier.
Humidifier? Ha, I always wondered about those things (at 10-15% humidity most often than not, there’s rarely a chance to use one around here.)
Yikes, only good thing is it goes away as fast as it came.
Yep…I LOVE spring storms for exactly that reason.
We got some snow Sunday morning but it did not stay. We actually have had more snow in March than normal!
hugs
Hazel & Mabel
Let’s hope we get some soon. We’ll happily take any extra.

You forgot the season of wind 😊
Rooting FOR snow. That’s not something I have done in a while, but I envy the thought. I feel like such an old curmudgeon any more.
It happens after 87 years of shoveling a corner lot. {tee-tee}
Hahaha!
You mean other than the fact that it was raining…………. again. And they say April is the month with showers….
Around here, we take showers whenever they are delivered with no regard to what the calendar says.
I love it when the snow lays on everything! It sure is beautiful. Glad you are getting a little much needed moisture.
Undisturbed snow is so beautiful. I love that time of day.
What a beautiful sight! Surprises around here in the morning are usually not good ones ;-).
😆
Ooooooooo! That looks FABulous!!! I would loves to do some snow zoomies! All I gots are some sun zoomies…not as good, butts almost as funs!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Elsa can hardly contain herself. It’s a total giggle blast watching her zoom back and forth the length of the yard.
I’ve heard you are low on snow. Your photo is pretty!
It’s pre-drought low. We’re hoping we can make up a bit in the next 4-6 weeks but serious restrictions are inevitable this summer.
It’s my birthday and I ordered and received sun and 70’s.
That’s wonderful! ♪ღ♪Happy ★ Birthday! ♪ღ♪* Hope your day has been grand. 🎂🎉
That is a beautiful site for your first cup of coffee! We are in the midst of spring with temps in the upper 70’s. Not complaining at all.
And nice and quiet before the city wakes up, too.
Oh my, snow! My only surprise this morning was that I had muted my phone last night so I didn’t hear my alarm and only had half an hour to get me and Xena ready and out of the house to work.
Eek…those kinds of mornings give me such heartburn. Hope the rest of the day went less stress inducing.
Got 2 talkers on the phone (and one of them twice) so my morning was shot. But I guess I am in the “customer service” business at the church as much as anything, LOL.
…that sucking sound…..
Summer is over and we are into Autumn (Fall) but still no rain to speak of. This was shown to me yesterday in the much lower water level at the Wetlands. No rain forecast : – 24c – 31c for most of the coming week. Queensland is in flood conditions.
Poor Mother Nature. She’s struggling to keep it together throughout the world.
We would love to wake up to a winter wonderland like that instead of our muddy yard. We are still on “inside” play restrictions:( Enjoy that beautiful snow.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Elsa promises to run a couple zoomies around in your honor.
We’ve had a couple days of straight rain. I love the rain … but after a couple days of dark and dreary, I’m ready for the sun again!
It’s a bright blue Colorado sky today. Most of the snow has already melted.
Had I known you were low on snow I would have GLADLY sent you some! 😉
Which would gratefully be accepted. 😍
Pawsome pic!
We have had plenty of snow & rain this past winter season & huMom is so ready for earth tones.
Glad you finally got some moisture. A dry winter is not good for water levels; lets hope you get your needed rains/snow.
Nose nudges,
CEO Olivia
Fingers crossed there is more on the way. We’d happily ‘borrow’ any destined for your way if that would help you see some earth tones.
It’s beautiful but I wish the snow in our area mid Sweden would go away.
Feel free to ‘send’ to Denver. 😊
Not snow 😁
If the sun comes out, I think the first of our crocuses will be blooming – making all the fall work to plant them well worth it!
One of the happiest of all the bulbs. Fingers crossed they start their cheerful greeting to spring.
We’ve had storm after storm. We’ve had bitter cold. We’ve had rain and more rain until things were flooded. This morning I woke up to sunshine and it’s going to be warm today. I’m very happy about that.
Enjoy your snow. ♥
Enjoy a beautiful day of sunshine.
Kind of ironic that our heaviest snowfall of the season came in late March. This time last year my garden was already in
Seems like Mother Nature is struggling with balance these days. 😄
Ah yes, that has the look of Colorado spring snow for sure! Great moisture for the little sprouts!
I’m sure I heard slurping this morning in the garden when I took the photo. 😊
😀
uhoh…. can anyfurbuddy donate a calendar please to mother nature?
She does seem a bit mixed up. 🙃
It started last night about 4 ish so no surprise about the 7 or more inches we got. However, the power going out was a surprise. Yea. It came back on so that’s great. We must get a lot more than you and my Boulder friend gets. And ice, again no surprise, just another thing to deal with.
It’s pretty though.
It’s a wonderland to experience. No doubt will be melted by tomorrow (except on north facing exposure).
Whoo hoo for Mother Nature! Hope you get a lot of wet stuff before the season passes. I feel your pain from past years. We’ve had our share of wet and lots of snow this year – so good for us in NorCal. It’s magic to wake up to a white frozen world. Enjoy it before it melts. As for us the girls and I were greeted by a loud and very excited turkey roosting somewhere near where the girls do their morning business. It’s very vocal so must be protecting eggs – I think it’s a little early for chicks. Kali and I will investigate later. Have a great “winter” morning. Ear scratches to Sam and Elsa.
I knew you’d understand my winter glee. Facing the certain prospect of a drought is not a happy thought, but we’ll keep optimistic with our fingers crossed. March and April are our wettest months. 🤞🏼Happy Turkey searching.
We don’t want moisture-it means weeds.
Gosh, we’re already pining that we’ll miss the snow.
My morning surprise?
Getting up on March 26th and seeing the temperature at 13 degrees (F)!
Today was barely warmer, around 17.
Still, at least it will make the snow stay a little longer, though the 50 degree F afternoons will likely be the death knell.
Best regards,
Paz
We’ll have the same here thought not quite as chilly. I just wish we’d get a few significant spring storms which come in with a vengeance, dump a lot of snow and leave quickly. We so need the moisture but will gladly take what we can get.
Ha! You can have it! I’m done with winter. 😃
Gladly. Summer will be brutal enough but this will help.
Oh no. Summer is the best. If it were up to me, summer would last 10 months, bookended by a month of fall and a month of spring. 😃
When you’re a mile high in elevation, summer can be quite intense. Four separate seasons seem okay by me.
Oh, in the south, summer is intense too. But it’s still better than being cold. Being cold is horrible.
Altitude makes a big difference but I understand. My sister lives in the south and gets chilled when the temps are below 60. Peeps here wear sandals and shorts when it’s 45. 😆
That’s exactly why I love summer: shorts and sandals, oh, and swim trunks and sun and sand and saltwater. No winter is fine with me. 😃
The snow looks pretty. Hope it stays that way for a while! No surprises here. We just wish the sun would come back.
It’ll will be gone by this afternoon since it should reach the 50’s today. The melt off will be a nice treat for plants and trees though. Even if stingy.
