IT SNOWED .....


After several false alarms, we finally got our winter snow here, hard by the Salish Sea. Actually we will probably get a couple more too, before summer. However, it then got above freezing and pretty much melted everything before I could get any of the 4-footers to go out and make some tracks! I guess we are all getting soft here.

I feel like this is a good counterpoint to all the attractive and hopeful spring-like pix I have seen around bunny blogland lately! We don't start hoping until after Valentine's Day.

This photo is out our front window, toward the north-east. Those are designer blackberries out there, the wiggly things are their summer covers all tucked away and wrapped in black plastic. A huge pasture beyond. That pasture gets rotated in and out of strawberries and potatoes every few years. Always interesting.

Lucky. I've been waiting for snow since November and we haven't gotten any (well, none that stuck to the ground). It's just weird! (And I soooo wanted to take the buns out in the snow...)

Gee, I guess it did snow didn't it? Thanks so much for posting tales of your buns. I really loved reading them!

Chilly, do rabbits ever go out in the snow?

That's what it looked like at our house this morning! But then it all melted by the time Deb got home from work!
