Winter…Spring…Winter

For the tinyest space–we could almost see Spring in the distance.

I mean, 68 degrees is inching it’s way up the thermometer and we are being optimistic….incredibly optimistic.

But then again…this is Utah.

Sunny…Cloudy…Snow…Cloudy…

FREEZE WARNING?!! Ohhhh noooo.

Psycho weather…

Utah.

Home sweet home.

I still love it here anyway.

 

 

Sad KSL News: An intense mid-April 2026 freeze in Utah has caused devastating, near-total fruit losses for many northern Utah farmers, with some orchards losing their entire year’s crop of peaches, cherries, apples, and apricots due to temperatures dropping into the low 20s°F. An unusually warm early spring caused early blossoming, leaving crops highly vulnerable to the subsequent cold snap.

 

Pretty Little Spring Garland

It all started with these pretty little flowers. I’ve used these cute things for many years. They’ve been baby hat accents. They’ve been hair clips. They’ve been key fobs.

But this time, I have bigger, better plans…

that include a bunch of green leaves…

and some colorful baby birdies.

Put them all together…

and you get

the sweetest little Spring garland that you’ve ever seen!!

Happy Spring everyone!!

 

Nearly Summer Snow

A few days ago we woke up to some crazy rain. I mean, like torrents of rain.  For 4 or 5 minutes it even turned to hail. I was amazed that it wasn’t even all that cold outside…just wet. We found this odd pile of hail in one spot on the lawn that must have slid off the roof or something.

ANYway, the best part of all this moisture is…

what it does to our mountains.

Oooooh.

Not bad for nearly June–right?
