#TBT: Blooming Snow, v.2.0

Posted on April 1, 2021April 1, 2021

This was first posted April 1, 2010.

Sure enough, it is almost Easter… and so a snowstorm has hit!  I went to Worland tonight to a Pet First Aid Class… and decided to take this photo of our mailbox as I drove in just half an hour ago.  Though we only have 3 inches or so on the ground, it does look more impressive when I used my flash!

This storm, as infamous as our usual Halloween storm, has perpetually wreaked havoc with Easter egg hunts.  I used to feel so sorry for those little girls decked out in their Easter best, freezing and ruining their pastel nylon socks and sandals in the snow and mud…  

Ten Sleep always has an egg hunt in the park… with bicycles for the grand prizes.  My kids always wanted to win, never did, and we managed to throw out those rock hard marshmallow candy covered nightmares after one bite.  But we tried every year…

Tonight, Daniel is the only one home for Easter… brother Brandon is feeling sick and will probably stay in Laramie and sleep… Victoria has plans with Matt.  Nevertheless, I think the Easter bunny will still stop in… he has to be very quick to avoid my guardian English Shepherds!  But really… another excuse to eat chocolate… can’t pass that up!

The best thing about this weekend of rebirth and snowstorms… all this snow will quench the thirst of the green grass trying to appear… and soon this land will bloom.

It is time for another Question and Answer entry on Saturday… Please send some questions in the comments section… and I’ll finish up with those already posed by some readers…

    We’re enjoying our spring flowers and seeing daughters and family again now our lockdown is opening up. Sadly, can’t see them at he same time yet as there is a limit of 6 AND only meeting outside. So glad we did it at the weekend when it was around 50F. Snow showers tomorrow and temps only just above freezing!!! Happy Easter everyone.

    We have had snow on many Easters….mostly it’s just cold. My daffodils are up and almost blooming, but they put they heads down after a drop in the temp. Forsythia popped and is brilliant. Not many churches or parades this year, due to COVID, but there are always jelly beans!!! Hope you all are doing well.

    That’s a nice appaloosa (did I spell that right) on your mailbox.

    Happy Easter! We even have a smattering of snow here in northern Virginia. But the daffodils, tulips and flowering trees are in full bloom.
