Snow Day, Blue Diamond?

 
So this was a hike we took on First Creek Trail on Saturday morning and this............



is what we woke up to this morning!
 

 
It was raining (which they need) when we turned in Sunday evening and snow was forecast for the higher elevations.  Adam had repaired and waxed his snowboard on Saturday in anticipation.  He headed to Mt. Charleston shortly after these pics were taken.


 
The snow was so wet that the hummingbird feeders in the tree out front were touching the ground.  I couldn't catch them on camera, but they were trying to feed from them.  The second photo was taken by Adam.





In the center foreground of this photo you can see a euphorbia Karen bought at Cactus Joe's to plant in their yard.
Fortunately they are winter hardy and the snow is melting quickly so we should get it planted before we leave tomorrow evening.
 
 


 
Mother Nature's way of prepping us for our return to Ohio!

  1. That can't be possible! How fast and how dramatic are the weather changes there!?. It amazes me that not only snowed, but the snow didn't melt and everything turn white! For sure now it's going to be a little bit easier to leave Nevada.
