We have been quite thankful for a little taste of Spring this last week! Snow is melting fast and furiously, and we even got above 60 degrees yesterday. The morning dawned at 45 degrees, and the warm air on the snow creates “snow fog”.
Me, the Dadz (who was lucky to have the day off), and the birds were probably the most thrilled with this unusually warm February weather.
It was just business as usual for the dogs for the most part…they tend to go with the flow as far as weather goes!
They still enjoyed playing in the snow, but I think they appreciate the comfort of the warmer weather as well. Cricket spent a lot of time just cruising around the yard, and Luke was seen several times just lying out on the deck.
We know this weather won’t last, and with a cool down due anytime, we should still retain some of the snow for playing in the yard and walking in the woods, though you can see in the below photo we will probably be left with some ice as well.
Since we’re trying to keep Cricket from running as hard these days, as long as we have a small area to play in, it will all be good. Snow Mountain still lives, and I imagine it will probably get bigger again before winter is done with us and spring really arrives.
Thank you to Brian’s Home for hosting the Thankful Thursday blog hop!
It’s amazing how Mother Nature teases us!
I think she’s being especially mean this year….from one day to the next we don’t know what to expect! 🙂
What a lovely walk outside, great photos!
Thank you! I enjoy being out there so much more when I don’t have to wear quite so much stuff! LOL
I love Luke’s ears flying in that last photo! I’m so glad that you got some warm weather. We were so happy with our warm up on Tuesday–Rye just stayed in the backyard most of the day watching the squirrels and gave me an excuse to get up between each paper I graded to check on her. Then we got a wintry mix today and I have no idea what we’re in for over the next few days!
It’s been so up and down here too! We also got a wintry mix over the weekend, but the upcoming week looks like we might be back to pre-spring!
Ah, a day of 60° sounds great! I’d love to let some fresh air in the house!
Wonderful photos… they really gave me a feel for what it’s like there right now. I hope that you aren’t left with too much ice. No one would like that!
We did end up with some ice, but only for a couple of days and then it warmed up again. Then it rained/snowed. Then it warmed up. LOL….hard to keep track!
It was so nice to get some fresh air in the house though.
our snow is gone but living in Michigan, it’s not Spring til May lol
Never let your guard down….LOL
You still have snow! We had torrential rains, then flooding, so all our snow is gone. Hopefully you’ll have spring temps soon! Sandra and Dolly
We’ve been getting them, about every other day! We got snow again over the weekend, but it has melted a lot in the last couple of days (we do still have a lot yet to melt though).
Nice photos, you do still have a lot of snow. Ours is all meted.
We’ve been losing a lot lately, but there’s still a lot to go!
Love seeing those foggy photos! Enjoy the warmer temps for as long as they last.
We’ll take every day we can get, and eventually they’ll stick around for good! 🙂
Those are such wonderful photos! Our ferals have sure been enjoying the warm spell here too, we hope it sticks around. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We hope it’s been sticking around for you, especially for those ferals! We’ve still been up and down a lot, but have at least been above freezing most days. So the snow is slowly leaving.
That first shot is beautiful–it looks so peaceful. It was almost 80 degrees here yesterday. Pretty crazy for February!
Yes, it was such a beautiful peaceful morning, the other wonderful thing about it.
It has certainly been a crazy February weather-wise, everywhere I think!
we had the same hope… but over night jack frost came back and ruined all plans… sigh…
Jack does not like to just go away quickly and quietly!
