First snow!

Our first snow was actually yesterday morning, so although I took these photos yesterday I was too busy cleaning up from our weekend celebrations to post them. LOL! Better late than never, right?

I got up just before dawn so I could take some photos before getting the boys off to school. This is our swimming pool and deck--does it look inviting? Don't you wanna jump right in? LOL.

For a short while it actually snowed pretty well, which was fun for the boys who have never seen snow falling before. Earlier in the fall we had some flurries that melted instantly, but not like this.

 

 

I let Casey out on the balcony and he seemed to actually enjoy the snow! Can you Alan in the photo down on the ground? Casey probably would have stayed out on the balcony all morning if I hadn't picked him up and brought him in. And his little feet were so cold!

 

 

 

 

Should I prune my roses?  Back in the San Francisco Bay Area we don't prune roses until the end of January, but I don't know about my new colder climate.

 

 

 

 

 

Soon after the boys left for school the sky cleared up and I knew I had only a short time left to photograph the snow before it all melted.

 

 

 

 

Is this a bird bath or a bird ice skating rink? I feel like I should get a miniature Zamboni.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I continue to be amazed by how beautiful and healthy my sage looks in spite of the constant frost, freezes, and now snow!

 

 

 

 

My mums are looking tired, but they are pretty topped with snow.

 

 

The snow was all gone by 10am but it was fun while it lasted.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my photos!
