first spring snow

The day after we went to the ranch, on Monday March 26, it snowed yet again as it had the week or so before. Lots of heavy wet snow.

However, per Black Hills spring fashion, most of the snow was gone the next day.

This is from the other side of the yard along with the road and the neighbor's tree.

Again, the following day. Hopefully that road will green up more this year.

Luna and the snow. 

The tippy top of the tallest pine tree had such nice clingy snow.

I was too late to capture a robin on the neighbor's tree but the branches were still pretty. 

Our lilac bush.  

Everything was so pretty and perfectly white.

Circled is a little finch that was tweeting away happily near the neighbor's yard.

I found another robin but not as near by. 

She was so pretty! 

That afternoon the snow had already started melting and Evie, Samuel, and Ezra were busy rolling big snow balls. 

Cute little Dwidge. 

The following day the cat climbed atop the kids' play set. Once before they had set him up there themselves, but he did it alone this time.

What is it about cats that they like to be high, perhaps to look over their vast kingdom? He does look rather majestic.

Ever since we ran at the track the previous week, our kids have been running part time around the neighborhood and Noah and Evie went that afternoon. Evie does not enjoy it. She cries and whines the whole time, but we're working on it, and she's improved. Noah is doing very well though.
