Thankful for Snow Days!

 

 

This year, we are celebrating November with gratitude. It's also Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today we are thankful for snow days!!

Sometimes, it's hard to believe we live so far south. Especially after all the snow that fell last week!!


Last Thursday, 11/7, we woke up to THIS! 

We got around 4 inches of very wet snow overnight, and an additional inch or so in the morning!

The trees and cacti were covered in white stuff!

It was such a beautiful sight to see..

BUT because there was so much wet snow, Mama wouldn't let us out unsnoopervised!  The snow had all the trees weighed down, and a few branches even broke under the weight of the snow so Mama thought it would be safer if we didn't do snow zoomies or snow barkies.

 

Like this branch from our Crab Apple Tree! 

It was strange seeing so much snow on trees that still had their green leaves!

There were even flowers still blooming on some of them!

Our Maple Tree still had Autumn leaves holding on to its branches.

Mama took a million billion pictures of them, and we're pretty sure you'll see more of them in a future post.

Luckily, the storm didn't last as long as the weather humans said, and we even saw some blue sky later in the day!

Mama made a movie(SURPRISE!) to document the storm

We are very thankful to experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountain foothills and the weather surprises living here brings!

We hope you all get out and see some nature this weekend!
