🍀 Happy Friday!

Tuesday we woke to a bit of snow. About 3 cm over a couple of days. Not much. And the driveways are warm enough that it melts. I don't have to uncover them. The sun seems to melt the sidewalk. Good thing!

The beauty of March weather means that it all melts!

As I wrote this, Thursday morning, we expected some snow. Although that changed during the morning, and rain was coming from a Colorado Low for Friday🍀. Oh yuck! These upsy downsy temperatures are unsettling! 


In the meantime, the kids are going to the mountains in B.C. and carrying on with their terrific ski programs. They post photos in their family photo stream, and I get to see what they've been up to! 


It's a great way to get outdoors in the fresh British Columbia air! Jesse had a fine result in the Okanagan-Similkameen Cross.

 

I while away the wet afternoons with 64ordle! I finally got one!

We are colder than usual for this time of year here in South Dakota. Typically, we would be in the 40's right now but are in the 20's and 30's instead. There is a bright side, deer are more frequent when it is colder!

Glad you don't have to shovel today. Happy St. Patrick's Day, Jenn.

Have fun with your sex toy (OOPS, I mean SexagintaQuattuordle).

Spring is on its way. It hit nine degrees here yesterday. Yippee!

The snow is beautiful but must be nice that it is starting to melt. Loved the videos. When the deer's head popped up nose to nose with the camera, I actually laughed out loud. Cute photos of your family enjoying themselves in BC. Thanks for sharing those weather maps, always interested in them, and that wordle? Got to play that sometime. Wishing you a great day Jenn :)

I am not familiar with that game but it looks complicated.

That deer liked the camera enough to sniff at it. Glad you don't have to get outside and blow snow hither and yon.

Phew!! ordinary wordle tests my brain enough. Love the deer walking quietly across the lawn.

Jeanie said...

I think it's great how they share their pix with you!

A five letter wordle is enough for me.

LOVE the snow mouse! Wonder what the deer wants to the left of the camera? Linda in Kansas

Our huge snow pile has lost a few inches.

We were never sure that spring would stay until May when we lived in Chicago.
