It's The End of The World As We Know It & I Feel FINE!

So Saturday was the only day this whole past week that was even remotely spring-like (and it was soooo perfect), and to welcome us back to the work week, look what we get:

May 29th, back on the chain gang IN THE SNOW...

Spring, My Eye (II)!!

This is how my street looks...not so spring- ish.

You may recall my writing about last year's April (click) snowstorm with the same title. Yeah...it's snowy, but we need it! I just hope it doesn't stay cold for too long! Here are some fun pix from this past week...

...and the same flowers on Monday.
Poor Daffodil in the snow!

Week in Review: Tuesday in Springdale

It snowed all night Monday night but the sun came up in the morning and melted the snow away. We got ready and headed out to the Orton's ranch in Springdale.A shot of blue sky above my mini-van on our way out of town
Here Summer takes us and the Larsons to the barn to get ready to feed the baby cows. Some of the mommy cows had twins and they can't feed both babies, so Summer has to bottle feed them.
Here's Heidi with her mud-protector bags on her feet in the barn.
A sweet little calf begs for milk
Summer Orton helps Heidi and Cailin Orton feed the calf
Jenny Larson and Addie feed the calf
Heidi is just as excited about the mud!
On the way home, we saw all these deer near the Orton's
This is the school house (still in operation) in Springdale...I think it's so cute and Cailin is so lucky she gets to go to school there!

While I Was Gone

The freezing weather made for a huge build up of ice floes on the bend in the river at the ranch.

See the car there on the right? It's parked on the road, and the ice is all teh way up the river bank to the road!
