barf

In Tajik, barf means snow.

Last Thursday, it barfed all over us. After a relatively mild winter, this was Mister Snow Miser's last stand. Actually it was his only stand, as the only snow that stuck this winter was on March 17. This was the view when we got out of bed...

Ella was WAY excited about this...

Still in PJs...

We got started right away (7am) taking advantage of our only chance to build snowpeople this year...

Silas got out of bed shortly thereafter and experienced snow for the first time. Seemed unfazed. Like usual...

The view of our courtyard from above...

There's flowers under there...

Sadly by lunch they were relieved of their duties. Ella assessing the wreckage...

Ella, those are the cutest snow people. I'm glad that winter did not leave before you got to make them. Grandma Carol

I'm glad they got to see some good snow this year! Ella would have been living a dream here at my place. We got a total of 102" this year!
