It rained heavily and steadily all night long, until about 3 AM or so, then things got quite. That either means it just stopped, or it snowed. I couldn't tell which until I got up this morning at 6:15, and looked out my window to see snow on the surrounding hills, and yes, a little dusting here at the ranch. Our elevation is 1200', so it's a rarity to get snow here. That being said, though, we had a wolloping snow in Dec of '09, but that was the last time the pretty white stuff has fallen here at BFF. So, being the intrepid photographer that I am, I put on all my woolies and was outside by 6:30 AM! The dogs love it when I get out and about early, so they helped me with my expedition. I'm glad I did get out and about when I did, because things warmed up quickly, and the snow disappeared. These are nothing fancy, but it's fun to see snow here again...........

| More of the garden and the hills beyond |

| Some flower seeds from last year are already trying to grow. |

I had to throw this in - our friend Herbert was hunkering down next to the pond in the pouring rain a couple of days ago................
Until the dogs found him and chased him away - this is all I could get of him making a hasty retreat!
And this next shot is also from a couple of days ago in the howling wind - I thought the windmill was going to blow over!
And, finally - spring is in the air - the first blossoms of the Flowering Quince below my office window.
