May Snowstorm...brrrrrrrr!


Not much time for posting lately, so my blog has been a little quiet....sorry about that. I promise to post more in the future :) Not much on the quilting front either, though the weather up here is perfect for that right now. I did finish another stitchery from Kaarens First Friday Freebies...i did two of them in December, but never finished the third one, but it looks like these. A late present for a friend, im sure she wont mind :)

As predicted we got quite a bit of snow last night and this morning...around 10 inches. It would have been more if it was colder out...but we got lots of rain for the first few hours instead. Natures gentle reminder to wait until after Memorial Weekend to plant that garden! (and oh, have i been waiting!) Sadly, today was supposed to be Jordyns field trip to the butterfly pavilion with her class...but of course it was canceled. No matter, her and i make the trip to Denver often, and i will take her next time we head down there! Meanwhile, we are both cooped up inside with a little bit of cabin fever...hopefully we wont kill each other :)

The hummingbirds were keeping busy at the feeders all through the night...i imagine thats what keeps them warm during storms like this. Im just glad i had three feeders out, because they almost drained all of them.

Spooky had some energy she had to unleash on the snow for a while...i made her come in though, when she started to stalk the hummingbirds. (the little stinker)

Jordyn had to come out and see what all the commotion was...hey, get some shoes on first kiddo! Ive taken a lot of photos over the last few weeks...perhaps ill share some in a future post...but for now, i think i will suit up and wander outside for some fresh air! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day...we enjoyed our day at home relaxing...the perfect kind of Mother's Day to me :) Cheers, and stay warm :)

The snow is beautiful. I like snow and wouldn't mind living in a colder climate when we no longer have to venture out for work. Love the footprints.

We got a sprinkling of snow yesterday too. Not nearly as much as you guys though!

It's got to be really hard to think spring thoughts when you get snow like that. Hope it disappears as quickly as it came.

Snow ... is a 4 - letter word!

Shouldn't complain here ... our total accumulation this year was probably less than two feet!

Speaking of feet ...

Those wee footprints are too cute!
Something only a kid would do!
Precious!
