We had a spring surprise this weekend--snow! It was 89 degrees (31.6 C) on Thursday, and then on Friday a cold front and rain came in from the west. As the temperature dropped the rain turned to snow and it snowed throughout the night.
We woke up Saturday morning to this!
Our area had about 10 inches (25.4 CM) in total and some areas had up to two feet (60.9 CM) of snow!
What happened to Spring? Even the deer was confused!
This sweet yearling buck is growing his first set of antlers.
The snow melted very quickly on Sunday as it was sunny and temperatures rose. The snow brought much-needed moisture to much of the state which is a blessing. Sadly, though, many tree limbs fell during the storm as the trees were fully leafed out and the snow was wet and heavy. Many people lost electrical power as a result, but the community I live in has underground electrical lines so we were fine.
I was so glad I held off on planting outside the tomatoes and peppers that I had started growing from seed in March. I had given some to our son, and a neighbor, that they planted, but experience told me I could not trust that we had our last frost as yet. I will wait until June to put them out and hope for the best.
Our oldest grandson's Lacrosse team was able to play their championship game today! As you can see the snow had all melted with just a bit left in the foothills.
Our oldest granddaughter's class went on a field trip to Denver, last week and I had to share this cute photo of her hugging the 40-foot-high (12.2 meters)) Big Blue Bear sculpture that is outside the convention center. The sculpture is by Lawrence Argent and its official name is "I See What You Mean."
This is the last week of school for the grandchildren and we are all looking forward to a wonderful summer. Do you have any special summer plans?
Have a wonderful week!
