We are brown again!
YAY!
We love brown!
Mom and Dad were very happy for the snow, but for us fur kids, brown is beautiful.

The slanting light gives us blue shadows—coloring the fast-melting bits of snow
The snow is going fast now! We are entering the dreaded of all seasons—MUD!!!
But if the air continues to warm, we just might go through mud season quickly!
Snow shadows!!! ENJOY!

After the snow, we had cold—
with slabs of sunlight that slowly warmed and shifted the ice and snow
It hazed the ice and shimmered across the frozen white
Then it warmed, and the melt began. The ice and snow thudded off the roof, winking and reflecting dazzling light as everything slid to earth.
It was lovely. (Because….since it’s February and and ALMOST MARCH—It won’t last long 🙂 )
From my heart to your world,
Linda
I love the snow! The cats and Boo not so much.
It’s not lasting long. But I do have photos to remember it
And the ice and the shadows—-It is/was like walking in a dream, and wee dream of snow. We’ve been wayyyyyy too dry.

A short, quick blizzard started everything. It was fast!
A swirling storm of sleet and rain—-
With Just Enough moisture
To miss up the windows! 🙂
Then the big storm hit!
WATER!!! We need it!

Two days of WIND!
And more WIND!
And cold!
BRRRR!
But no rain or snow here on the farm, which all of us say
YAY!
Mom says: “Look, the mountains are white! YAY! White is good!”
Let it stay in the mountains, please.
We like plain ol’ dirt!
WAIT!!!
The SNOW CAME!!!
Oh! Yes! It DID!!!
TLC, Boo Berry, and Hobbie Hobbs
From my archives —-but you get the picture
The wind was so strong it snatched at the cats’ fur and flattened Boo’s fur.
(From my archives)
It was miserable —whipping the smoke from the woodstove chimney into tatters

No rain came—not even wind-blown rain, but clouds WERE heavy in the mountains.
Archives!
Wind fling the weeds everywhere

Wind! Making the leaves dance
Miserably hard to work in.
So —- we didn’t 🙂
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

In between our storms, I’ve been working in the yard. Which is a tad HUGE
The trees let down their leaves right in the yard, the driveway, the sheds — a thick amount of leaves.
But the work was brightened with birdsong and random bits of sunlight.
I even got hot enough to wear shorts and no coat!
YAY!!!

Gradually removing the misty late-winter rain, leaving our world cold, frosty, and perfect!
Then the wind brought in more clouds—clouds that feel and smell like snow.
Two more weeks of February —- getting closer and closer to SPRING!!!
YAY!
