Last Wednesday, this pile of snow was a prominent feature in our Western New York front yard:
 |
| My kids gathered icicles and planted them in this snowbank. I'm not sure why... ☺ |
Today's view—due to our recent 70-degree temperatures—is much different:
I'll admit that I don't mind the lack of snow, but my three-year-old daughter spent much of yesterday afternoon singing a song she'd made up and titled "Snow, Snow, Come back!" I can't say that I sang along, but it was fun to listen to her.
And I'm quite certain that one of these days, she'll get her wish.
Have a wonderful Tuesday—no matter what your weather!
only a small portion in our neck of the woods but a big lot more is expected - I'm not panicing.
ReplyDeleteThat's good. :) Enjoy the snow!
DeleteI'm very jealous of your grass. Right now we've got a couple of feet of snow in our front yard and I can't wait for it to melt.
ReplyDeleteI know the snow will be back, but I'm enjoying the warmer temperatures—and the grass—while I can. Crossing my fingers that your snow melts soon.
DeleteGosh but this is where I'm back in the stone age. Have had the pleasure of owning a cell phone
ReplyDeleteonce a very long time ago. Then realized I can live without it as it was one more debt I couldn't afford. I think I'm the only adult in America that doesn't own a cell phone. So it's time like these I wish I had one so I can take beautiful pictures and post 'em up on my blog. Thanks for sharing.
I know what you mean. I didn't take many pictures outside of the house before I bought a cell phone. Now I'm snapping them all the time! :)
DeleteWow, what a change!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe it's January!
DeleteGreat photos! It was the same way here. A ton of snow and then all gone. My son wants the snow to come back too!
ReplyDeleteKids sure love snow. They might change their minds when they have to shovel it. :)
DeleteLove the icicle tribute your kids made!
ReplyDeleteThanks. They had a lot of fun making it. :)
DeleteAh lovely daughter you have. She really made me smile with her made up snow song :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks. She's always "writing" and singing songs. :)
DeleteThe winter weather finally returned here to KY yesterday - which made me happy since I love winter :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you!
DeleteIt never snows here in California, so I love it when I get a chance t o take some photos of snow.
ReplyDeleteStopping via Our World Tuesday with a photo and a quote on trees in winter.
As much as I complain about the snow, I do love that I live in an area that has all four seasons. :)
DeleteThanks so much for commenting on my Vegas/Waterfall pics! I'm following your blog now! Even tho I live in PA now...I'm originally from WNY! I was born in Buffalo and raised in the surrounding areas! Where are you???
ReplyDeleteI'm in one of those surrounding areas east of Buffalo! Nice to meet you. :)
DeleteHeading over to follow your blog.
It is wild how much the weather can vary from day to day.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy!
DeleteThat's cute! It's crazy how quickly the weather can change, though!
ReplyDeleteOh - I'm definitely singing along with your daughter! I like the idea of planting icicles.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cool idea, but they never did tell me why they were doing it. :)
DeleteIt must be snowing in our local mountains because I've been freezing! I love the song though--sounds like you might have a talented writer coming up in the family. Nice lyrics little one!
ReplyDeleteI'll pass that along to her. I think you just might be right. ;)
DeleteJust amazing how fast the weather can turn...kinda of eery in a way. I LOVE your blog header...very cute.
ReplyDeleteLaurie
Eerie is a good word for it!
DeleteAbout the header: thanks! My friend Tara at Tara Tyler Talks made it. She's so talented! (http://www.taratylertalks.blogspot.com)
I love it! It's a lot like here...except we've been stuck with freezing temperatures. I hear it's supposed to warm up later this week. Hard to imagine when it's 10 degrees outside. Enjoy the warmth!
ReplyDeleteOur warmth was fleeting. I think we were back to the thirties today. Still, that's warmer than usual for this time of year, so I'm not complaining!
DeleteHope it warms up for you soon.
You're having changeable weather for sure. The kids must have wanted more icicles to grow! Cute picture (the real one and the mental one of them 'planting'...) Keep the mittens handy!
ReplyDeleteno snow here yet
ReplyDeleteIs that a good thing or a bad thing? :)
DeleteI look at the many wonderful winter captures from around the world and envy you for your photographic opportunities. A frosting on any landscape is such a pretty addition.
ReplyDeleteHowever I don't think I would like the cold and slush that accompany your winter-world. I guess kids don't see the negatives and only remember the fun ... thank goodness for that.
Yes, thank goodness! I have many wonderful childhood memories of playing outside in the snow. It's amazing how much our feelings about things change as we get older...
DeleteIts warmer where you live than where I live and its supposed to be warmer here in the winter; go figure :)(our highs for the past few days were in the low to mid 50s; very unusual). It is amazing how fast the snow can melt when the weather warms up :)
ReplyDeletebetty
The temperatures are in the thirties now, but we're still above normal. Such a strange winter...
DeleteWOW on the 70's it only got into the 50's here. Yesterday reminded that winter is still here and today we are getting rain and some freezing rain. :/ Great pics btw!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Such weird weather everywhere...
