I "saw" snow before I processed your title. It s l o w l y sank in.

Do you have a "before" picture of the trees? I bet it was a spectacular show (short-lived, maybe, but spectacular!).

Looks to me like someone spilled a box of Tide. I guess they still make that stuff?

Oh how I love cherry blossoms! I have heard they have a lot in Washington too so you are lucky!!!

We don`t get them in Australia so I guess it is a good thing I live in Japan!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. The boy was very uncomfortable with the little mermaid....because she spoke to him in English in a highpitched voice and expected him to respond but he doesn`t really speak English! hehe! I think the photo is funny!

Happy WW!

I'll bet that's a little more pleasant than the crazy hail-snow storm thing we had here in Colorado last week! At least it ought to smell nice. Great shot! :D

Cool!

Was it slippery to walk on?

I think it would be more difficult to clean up than snow!

I would rather have that kind of blizzard... then the one we are expecting tomorrow.
Getting the real stuff tomorrow... and lots of it. ICK!

Beautiful photo! It just makes me sad to see a tree without it's cherry blossoms. To me it means the end of Spring.

It does bear a strong resemblance to snow.

Well I'll be. I'm sitting here thinking that is snow on the ground and then I read the title of the post. Now I'm completely fascinated that this is actually Cherry Blossoms! I bet it is a gorgeous tree in bloom.

HEY you posted about 2 kinds of pie hot and cold over at RC's I think, anyway, that's EXACTLY what one of my uncles used to say. its kind of a family joke and my hubby has taken it over and says that he has 2 favorite kinds, hot and cold. it is really disgusting how well he fits in with my family. oh well. just thought you should know that you're not the only one. ha!

Ok, did you have those words up there before? So this is petals? Well that's much better than snow but poor flowers. :(

Sadly our walk looks like that but thicker and it is actually snow. Lovely photo. I imagine it smelled lovely around there for awhile.

Ice Can Look Nice

Image
When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill,  a warm Chinook wind blew in.  It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that  Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling.  At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other.  Feed the birds ****

Fun Monday - Childhood Memories

Image
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...

Hearing Things

The mouse business began last month when a bad aroma began to annoy me. I nervously checked the compost crock and the garbage can and even peeked in the oven to see if a piece of meat had been left to die there. My nose finally led me under the sink to a forgotten mouse trap. Sure enough, there was a little furry creature ripening under the hot water pipe. Gag me. The snare and its little feast of long dried up peanut butter had been prepared several month previous; set by WR in response to my reminders (nagging) that we needed to be prepared for the winter mouse invasion. I'd left the primed trap alone, acknowledging each time I noticed it with careful avoidance. After our catch, we were once again aware that the field mice had found shelter under the house. And, that at least one had squeezed through the small opening around the kitchen pipes into the warm cabinet under the sink. WR set another trap with fresh peanut butter. Now I am paranoid. I keep hearing things: Paper...
