On this last day of winter, it seems appropriate to show you the blue and white of my most recent snow day. We got to play with snow balls in the middle of March, after days of green grass, sprouts in the greenhouse, and all the promises of an early spring.
Wendigo is our very own snow beast. She basks in the sun and ice forms on her fur, and she never gets cold.
She and I explored the white and blue world of snow as we took the chickens breakfast in bed. Their little coop looks so cozy in the early morning shadows of blue.
This was a sticky snow, and each wire of the fence was thick with it, so it cast dark blue shadows on the white world. The donkeys didn't want to leave their stall, and had to be coaxed into the fluff.
Don't they look pretty in stripes?
Even the truck looks cool in the snow - like it's been on an arctic adventure!
Just look at that sky! I'm sure it's never been so blue.
Every little branch of the old pear tree in the front yard was outlined in snow, and the sun sparkled on the ice crystals of the barely open buds.
Can you tell how still the air is? Normally we have wind, but on this morning, the snow sat heavy on the branches and they did not sway.
Blue on white on blue.
The snow fell on the first official day of Brandon's spring break. Since we didn't have to go to work, we were happy to take long walks with Wendi and follow the deer trails and rabbit prints.
When we walked under the limbs of trees, wet plops of snow would fall from above.
Snow selfies!
The forecast calls for more snow this week. What happened to the early spring?!
