Finally --- Snow! !

Yep, the title says it all -- finally, only a few

weeks before the official arrival of Spring,
we got a big snow. Well, big for us here in
Northeast Arkansas.

As of right now, at about 8:30 pm local time,
we've got about 5 inches of wet fluffy snow on
the ground. I took several pictures to share
and I'll post them and just ramble in between
pics. I hope that works for you. ;-)Getting bundled up to go out in the snow.
This is Emmy's first real experience with snow.I think she likes it, as you'll see. If you click on
this picture, you'll see that Emmy has a
snowflake in her eyelashes.Emmy's decided she likes this cold white
stuff, but when it gets in your eyelashes
it makes you squint and blink a lot.Hey, that cold white stuff collects on the ground!Oh, boy! You can catch it on your tongue, too!
But for some reason it disappears pretty quick
and it doesn't have much flavor to it.
I love this picture. ;-)It's really difficult to gather enough of this
stuff in your hand for a good mouthful, but
it's worth a try....All wrapped up and strapped in for the ride home.Mom carrying Emmy to the car.
Notice that the parking lot and street is
mostly clear, but the snow is sticking to
the trees, the grass and the cars.Look at the wet, heavy snow clinging to
my flowering quince. And it is indeed
flowering under the snow!And speaking of flowering, my daffodils
have been blooming for several days now.
This is what some of them look
like weighed down with snow.I took some time to chat with a friend on messenger,
so it's now 11:30 pm and the snow is tapering off.
Only a few flurries falling now but we've gotten an
additional inch or more of snow. I'd guess we've gotten
about 6 inches of snow, maybe a little more, because
it's been melting a little here and there.

I made a big bowl of snow cream and hubby and I
feasted, but I forgot to take pictures of it, so it's
now just a happy memory. I was freezing after
my snow cream so I had to take a hot shower
to warm up. It was worth it, though.

This snow is ideal for making snow cream.
It will probably be the last snow cream until next
season unless Mother Nature laughs at us and
sends more snow in the next several weeks.

It's only a few weeks until the official first day
of Spring, but we've had snow well into April
in times past. It doesn't usually last long,
but we've actually gotten some
of our biggest snows in March and April.
Not too many years ago we had a
huge snow on Good Friday.And now that everyone is thoroughly sick
of hearing about snow, I'll post this and
wish everyone a great weekend.
I'll be back Saturday evening for my
Sunday Dinner post, Lord willing.
