By yesterday afternoon, this was all that was left of the previous day's snow...
I took these this morning, but with our overnight low, things hadn't changed that much from late yesterday afternoon. So, it's all clear for right now.
In fact, there isn't a cloud in the sky, the sun is shining brightly and temps should be in the low 60F degrees today. NOAA has revised the high for tomorrow down to 66F degrees from 69F degrees, however, and a 40%-50% chance of rain/snow is being predicted for Friday and Saturday. With a low of 29F degrees predicted for Saturday night, plain old snow is on the menu again.
I heard my first hummingbird this morning! I've e-mailed the ecology center in Nederland to find out, based on the above weather forecast, whether I should wait to put my feeders out. I expect the answer to be "yes," but it's tempting.
I'd been waiting for the fox and she just came to be fed. She's starting to look a little better, I think...
Hmm! Hmm! Kibble and egg...
Gotta clean my face...
Resting...
You can see what a chunk something has taken out of her tail about midway up. I wonder if the fur will ever grow back? I think the ear split is old.
I put Dixie in the cabin while the fox is here and I praise Dixie to high heaven when she comes on command to leave the fox alone and come in. She seems to be getting it. I tell her she's my best girl to go against her nature. We haven't seen nearly as much of Apollo. He came one day last week with a blue harness on and a plastic-encased note attached, "Please don't feed me. Thx." So, he's not getting any hand-outs and I'm trying to bring the fox's food back in as soon as she's finished so he doesn't get that. He was really packing on the weight. Was the original Apollo Creed a heavyweight?

Here are some more spring snow pics from yesterday's walk. Almost all of the snow has fallen off the trees. In fact, it was falling off yesterday afternoon...I just escaped getting snow down my jacket collar several times. There's still quite a bit of snow on the ground, but our temperatures are supposed to be in the high 50F degrees today and tomorrow, climbing to 69F degrees on Thursday so that will be the end of it I imagine.
I knew I had procrastinated getting these summer tires--plus two new ones--put on for some reason other than lack of funds!...
I became so intrigued with the patterns being made by the melt water running down the trunks of these aspens that I used up a lot of battery power before I even got to the trail...
The snow was wet and there was no wind so it frosted the tops of the tree limbs...
These small aspens look as if they were covered with cotton bolls...
Low clouds...
Dandelions in the snow...
Bench in the snow...
I love this weathered tree stump with or without snow...
No words needed...
Well, that's probably it for snow pics until Halloween! Teddee
It snowed lightly all night and this morning. Returning from the library, where I had to pick up a book being held for me, I decided to pull off and take some photos of this little pond across from the high school. The trees always looks so pretty in this area when they are covered with snow.
I'm not sure how much snow we've received. I'd guess three to four inches...
I missed the fox first thing this morning. I could see her paw prints in the snow and I've been keeping an eye out for her and she just returned, wet as sop. This bare spot where I had the car parked overnight made a good landing pad...
Here's a cute one of her yesterday evening just as it started to snow with snowflakes caught in her eyelashes...
..and just a few more snow pics. I'm going to go walk The Loop and see how things look in snow. I expect this is winter's last hurrah...
More later...
