When we woke up this morning it was snowing and the ground had a skiff of snow on it. Over the course of the morning it melted. So yay! We could work outside this afternoon on filling a raised bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the sky got really dark and we could see the snowing coming towards off, down the mountains to the west. Pretty soon it was all around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is what it looks like outside right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are mountains to the east but you couldn’t prove it in this picture. And the ground and trees are all getting white again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wind is blowing too, so all in all it’s kind of unpleasant outside at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View off the back porch looking toward the creek, which is quite noisy. Spring melt (appearances notwithstanding), is proceeding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pretty light phase Red-tailed Hawk was hanging out in the the trees next to the house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday evening, when it wasn’t white outside and we still were under the impression it was spring, Oro told us about a hawk landing in the trees to the east of the house. This looks like the same bird we saw most of last year, which did a lot of hunting in the grass in our front yard and across the road. There is a pair of these hawks which nest in the trees along the creek. We hear the Ravens complaining about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today is a good day to stay inside and watch the weather being silly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
