This past Wednesday marked the first day of Spring...and it also marked the expectation of the first great snow of 2013 for the Ozarks! I was so ready to trade in my winter boots for flip-flops; my sweaters and jackets for capris and tanks. But Mother Nature had other plans. We braced ourselves for a forecast of 2-6 inches of snow, but deep inside, I still doubted any would come to pass. My doubts were replaced with reality on late Thursday afternoon as a heavy snow began to fall. By nightfall we had 5 and 1/2 inches of beautiful, powdery snow!!
Thursday evening as the snow was quickly falling and turning our world into a beautiful white landscape
Mac doing a happy snow dance :)
Postcard perfect
My little snow explorer. He is quite the adventurer, all covered up in snow!
Seriously, this is what spring looks like!
Friday morning view from the back deck. See the layer piled up on the deck rail?
Cause you know we busted the laundry basket, aka sled, back out for a little fun!
By next winter's snow, we will have a real sled...Sam and I wanted to join in the fun, but you know we couldn't fit up in a basket!!
Just breathtaking...
The stuff was pretty deep, especially for Drew, who already struggles in the boots
Yep, that's a big white snowball about smack Mac!
Each time we had snow flurries or tiny bits of snow this winter, Mac wished and hoped to make a snowman. Well, he got his wish!
Mac wanted to put the hat on all by himself. Between the story of Frosty and the Disney cap, I think Mac was expecting some magic to come busting right on out of that snowman!
Look in the center toward the treeline...that's Mac and Sam following deer tracks all through the yard.
Like father, like son! They were making it snow on us :)
Can you spot the red cardinal??
Just around 5 and 1/2 inches! Welcome Spring!! We're so glad you came!
