We’ve had quite a bit of rain around here in the last week or so.
Of course, it’s never exactly enough…
for me.
That is, unless it’s flooding up onto the sidewalk.
Even then, the look of it pouring down…
the sound of it pounding on my metal roof…
and most of all the smell of it–
that makes me want to stand on the porch until I’m soaked–
it just makes me soooooo happy.
I kinda think it makes my yard happy too.
Heh, heh.
Waking up to my sweet Lyla watching all the raindrops falling on the ground outside–like she was seeing them for the first time.
She’s so freaking cute.
Such a breathtaking evening scene from Jillian.
What a beautiful world we live in.
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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The weather forcast says “Snow Showers.” But I’m not falling for that again. All winter long we’d be promised snow but it never, ever happened. It was a lame, LAME winter…for folks that love snow.
But then one glorious morning, we woke up to this!!
Wahoooo! At last, at last! Enough snow that it actually sticks and stays for more than 20 minutes.
Now, given the weather history this season, I’m not so naive as to think that it will be here tomorrow. In fact, I’ll be thrilled if it hangs on for a couple of hours.
I mean, honestly…
It’s so beautiful.
We’ll gratefully take what we can get.
At last.
