Snow!

Woke up to snow this morning, makes it feel more like Christmas and is very pretty with the sun shinning on the wet snow. Taking the dogs for their morning walk, Muffin stood in the door, barked and did not know if she wanted to go out, she notices all changes and does not like changes, Cookie just scampered out and started eating the snow! Once Muffin decided it was okay to walk down the steps, she started playing with Cookie in the snow and decided snow was good! After returning from the walk Woody snapped some pictures before the snow melted, the desert looked gorgeous with snow covering all the bushes and trees unfortunately Woody did not get any pictures of the desert only a few of our little yard.


I am sure the birds were wondering what happened, there are hundreds of beautifully coloured birds that hang out here.










You can see it was not much snow, but it was wet and clung to everything.

Our winter home looking somewhat like winter!

The day was cool 46F (8C) with winds gusting from 13-25 mph (20-40 kph) but sunny, the snow was all gone before 11:00 am except for the mountain tops. We made a shopping trip to Sierra Vista after lunch and it was surprising how much snow has accumulated on the higher mountains around Sierra Vista. We were told snow on those mountains usually hangs around until March unless there is unusually warm weather, which we doubt will happen as it is cooler than normal most days here this year. Not complaining though, much warmer than home!
