Snow and Mother's Day

Yesterday it was cold enough to snow so it did.  At least it was some kind of moisture.

The flakes were large and wet.

A short time later the ground was white.  Good thing I got my snow boots out the day before because I had cold feet outside.

We made a trip over to the County Transfer Station (Garbage Dump).

The small grain fields showed green along with the snow.  By evening the snow had melted.

It was a good day for a movie and a nap.  We watched The Last Laugh...funny even if it was about the elderly.  I give it a 7 out of 10.  Some parts of it seemed disconnected like a writer was fired mid script. Far Guy woodcarved and I crocheted and we both made supper together...ham and cheese omelettes and fruit.

Yesterday was opening Fishing here in Minnesota.
Today is Mother's Day ...happy day to my Mom and all the Mothers out there.

  6. Fun photos! Snow on Mother's Day weekend is not something I have ever experienced, or ever hope to experience.
    Happy Mother's Day. Stay safe and warm and content.

  7. Cold and green this morning. If we had a few flakes I missed it if it was late in the day after I closed up for the night. But, according to my phone, there's a possibility until Wednesday so I may see some snow yet. Yup--Happy Mother's Day! :)

  9. Happy Mothers Day! I'm glad that your snow melted quickly. It seems like very strange weather this spring on top of everything else going on. Loved the photos of you two with your Mom's. Very sweet.
    Blessings,

  13. We had snow in Michigan too, but it didn't stick on anything. I've been covering up the perennials the last two nights but I don't think we got frost either night. Will tonight too, because you know if I don't do it we'll get a killing frost.

    Happy Mother's Day to you! Sounds like a fun movie to watch together. Love your pictures with your own moms!!!

  17. We got a little bit of snow today....but it didn't sit on the ground like at your place. Love those pics of you guys with your dear moms. Hope you're having a wonderful Mother's day, Connie, and that far guy is spoiling you. Jim made me breakfast, we had chinese take-out for dinner and then watched Episode 7 of "The Chosen." An awesome day. Take care you two.

  19. Just when I thought my Blog Postings of Snow in Iowa... You guys Trump me! I guess it IS Minnesota. Crazy arctic weather spasms! I never thought ot putting my Mom's picture on my blog... Seems everyone else is. I don't even know if I have a picture of her. (we did not bring many pictures after we moved to Iowa) I don't think I would be able to find a flattering "young and happy" photo of her anyway. Mom was "behind the camera" most of the time, So lots of pictures of Dad, Me, and My brother....Happy Mother's Day!

  21. I'm late reading blogs tonight because of the kids coming over. We sat outside reasonably far apart, most of the time. I hope you had a good day. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of you and Far Guy and your moms.
