SNOW!

it was a fine morning for me, waking up to light fluffy snow! i grew up at tahoe and knew instantly this was great powder snow, i was transported immediately to my childhood ski days. Snow is not the norm for where we live, having it twice this month has been exciting! first up is the kitchen garden, its fair to say the tomatoes can officially be removed, even though i still have lots of tomatoes on the vines...

 i headed out alone, in the dark of pre dawn, eager to see what animal tracks i might find in the snow before the dogs ravaged the pristine white. i spotted genie, but no giraffe tracks in sight, she was frozen solid.

the white vistas dazzled me, i found lots of tracks but couldn't tell what they were...

for the first time it was snow 360 degrees around the surrounding vistas.

i love garden benches, i am even more enchanted with them laced in snow...

it was snowing on my walk, you will see loads of smears on all my pictures...

good thing i spotted my tracks first thing because suddenly the girls were in full race mode to join me courtesy of their daddy...

i took 2 dozen pics of them on this mulch pile waiting for katie to stop howling, not a good pic to be had!

rosie was bored waiting for katie to quite

their daddy showed up in tessie and escorted them away...

allowing me to finish a more peaceful walk in the snow... olives anyone?

lemonade?

my nursery doesn't look all that nurturing...

reblooming iris still standing tall, i had trees snap. 

 the snow lasted almost all day, despite the rain, i fear tomorrow will be nothing but ice!
