The snow and sleet started falling during thunderstorms, lightning and dark skies yesterday morning. The wind blew the sleet painfully sideways.
Here's a view looking west towards the barn from the back of our house.

Our little front yard wildlife/flower area. I thought the contrast between the bright green grasses and the bright white snow was interesting. John just laid out some grass seed last week, before our rains and hot weather. But I'm glad that I've waited to plant my garden. Looks like we'll have a short growing season this year. I'm stumped at what I can get away with planting and harvesting now. And I wonder if this cold weather will affect our peach, apricot and apple trees?

Looking east towards the chicken coop and hen house. The girls were tucked cozy inside.

Our little grassy side yard.

Our kitty, Oreo looks as confused as we are. Yesterday it was 85 degrees and we were wearing shorts outside.

Yucky White Stuff! I don't want to see anymore of that until winter. I cannot believe you are getting snow still! I hope it's the last batch for you. Have a good weekend!
Wow! What a bummer!!
It is unseasonably chilly here, too, but no snow!! Actually, it is supposed to warm up now and the next three days are supposed to be all sun.
Yeah!
Thanks for you friendly comments on my blog. I always like to see 'you'.
Melissa's friend who was riding with her is actually more my age. She is a Mom of two smaller kids, they live here in our neighborhood but unfortunately not that close that they could ride often together.
WOW, you have snow, and I thought it was cold at our house, and you're much lower then us!
Love the picture on top of your blog with the title-so cute!
I just saw your comments on my posts, and I answered them, btw. :-)
No no no!! It cant be. How awful. I don't even want to look at those pictures. It's been chilly here but not that cold! Yuck! I feel so bad for you.
What weird weather! We are still waiting for it to get hot here, but at least it isn't snowing.
Oh, for PETE'S sake...snow??!! Seriously, that's ridiculous. Who do we call to complain??!! :-)
It's been chilly and windy and rainy here...but chilly as in 50ish degrees, not snow chilly. You poor thing. Sending you warm thoughts!! -danni
OMGoodness!! That's just awful. How about we split my daily high in half. It was 98 degrees here yesterday and today. I'll take 44 and you take 44. Not really warm, but okay.
