.73″ of rain poured out of the sky today… most of it in about a half an hour! It was interesting there for a bit, with lightning popping and thunder rolling. My dogs just KNEW a strike was headed for them, so anywhere within 3′ of a human was BOUND to be safer, right? They’re…

Leeward
It snows. It melts. It snows. It melts. If it ever warms up around here, we’re gonna have good grass and wildflowers! Tomorrow’s supposed to be nice, but I’m headed to Cody for a library training. Saturday another storm moves in. Then… Then! It’s predicted to be nice for a *week*! That means I better…
Frostography
I had the opportunity to take some amazing photos today… and pretty much messed them up. They were out of focus, partially my fault, partially the camera’s automatic focus. The only thing that keeps me from spitting and kicking the dirt, is that I can go back… try again… take a few more. Then perhaps…

Patience is a virtue, especially while waiting for this spring to arrive…
Getting Anxious
After the 8 inches of snow melted in one day… We had plenty of mud. It was starting to settle… Then it snowed an inch and rained a smidge last night. Back to mud. Another snowstorm is due Sunday night or Monday. No wonder the four seasons of Wyoming are ice, mud, dust, and fire….
Snowstorm Calf
8 inches… Which is better than many parts of Wyoming that did receive the predicted foot of snow. The 60 and 70 mph winds did hit the southern section of the state, and the usual windy spots had their snow blown into impressive drifts as well. Good thing our carpenter listened to the weather reports…
Not Overly Pleasant
Winter just HAD to rattle our cage one more time… I spent the day at work watching it snow, and while it was barely sticking to the ground in Ten Sleep, I arrived home to this. Five inches of the ol’ white stuff. It’s continued to snow, and predictions are for almost a foot by…
Nobunny
It’s snowed the past two days… and all that wonderful dirt/mud/tiny green grass that was appearing is now well under 5″ of wet wet snow. There was more accumulation, but it has condensed! This is great news for the grass that will grow this spring… and the runoff has filled many reservoirs in the badlands…
Wordless Wednesday – “The Green Grows”
For Wordless Wednesday… the green grows ‘neath the vanishing snows…
Minute Movie: The Frost Leaving
Today was alternately a blizzard, a hurricane, and a peaceful grey day… take your pick, they all happened! It was a day in March! This video was taken yesterday… when the frost was leaving the ground and the runoff water was beginning to soak in. I suppose that may be a new thought for some…
