Yes, Judy, we still have a bit of snow

When I called sister Judy on the phone yesterday, I found her out in the garden digging and having fun with grandson Joel. She asked me if we still had snow. I thought it worthwhile to show that it is beginning to melt. Above is the path for neighbor's dog, Bo, who comes to see us every morning for his bony treat. See the receding snow?
And in the front, you can almost see the big pot at the foot of the steps.
We are told that the snow pack in the Bear River Range is down this year - all we've seen is white, except for the dark band of the orchard. The snow is usually frozen so hard in the mornings, after the compacting warmth of the day before, that the animals can walk around on top, leaving interesting footprints. The left-to-right path a little over halfway up on the picture is made by the neighbor kids trekking off to school.

You really do live in a winter wonderland, still. My daffodils are up, and the only sign of snow is a tiny little patch that sits in the shade. May the warmth of the sun find its way to your house soon.
