S'now Kidding


It's Springtime in the Rockies and spring here usually brings a few good snowstorms.....heavy, wet, hard to shovel snowstorms. We woke up today to a good one to welcome the first Saturday of spring.

I stole this picture from my friend Dawn's Facebook page. She said she had already shoveled 7 inches, and it was still coming down.


Our deck had 8" with more falling.


Dodger doesn't accept weather as an excuse for a change in his routine so we slogged off to the dog park for some running in the snow.


My photography is never the best, but it is really as gloomy and gray as it looks in these pictures.


Before the dog park, Doc had to take his truck in to the tire store to get a check on a tire that he had pulled a screw out of last night. I saw this when I was getting in the truck later and thought the tire store had done a really slip-shod job on the tire repair. It turned out that Doc had pulled the band aid out of the glove compartment to mark the spot just below where the screw had been so he could show them at the tire store....who knew the man could be so practical?

I can't exactly say I am loving the cold and snowy weather today, but I'll go along with what everyone around here says because it is true.....we really need the moisture.

Has spring shown up with a better personality where you live?

  1. I know we need the moisture - but couldn't it be rain? My husband is in CA and when he called he said he was sitting by his sister's pool and it was 80! I told him he wasn't being very nice.

  2. The only good news here is that the storm you have today is likely to past south of us. It's been unseasonably cold, so the snow on the ground is barely melting. Folks are getting restless!

  5. Love that Dodger is so happy in snow! The band aid on the tire is hilarious! We "may" get an inch or two of snow, but my kids in St. Louis will get plenty! Enjoy!

  7. Doc is smart, Dodger is having a blast and I'd be melting snow with the hair dryer, I'd be so frustrated!

  8. Here, there is snow on top of the tallest volcanos. At night, the temperature dips into the 60s. During the day, it's in the 70s or low 80s. Still too cold for me to swim and snorkel at the beach.

  9. Wouldn't it be nice if bandaids fixed tires? Wow, you do have a lot of snow! We just had a bit of it this month and it is sunny now but cool. Love the pics of your dog.

  12. I think your winter is definitely too long this year. Even seeing the pics from a distance.... I can't imagine what you must be feeling.
    I'll send you some of our warmth with wishful thinking!!
