Thankful Thursday

Snow in May is pretty normal at our elevation in the Rockies, and it is a key source of moisture that helps us in the summer. However, every year, I am ready for spring by May. Fortunately, our pups make me smile my way through the May snow storms.

They played happily on the day of the latest storm.


 

And then we were gifted a bluebird day on the day after the storm.

 

For a little while, the snow stayed on the trees set against the azure sky. Amazing!


I am thankful, however, that the bluebirds will doubtless return very soon. They've "arrived" several times already but they retreat to lower elevations when we have snow storms. I'm ready to enjoy their kind of spring beauty!


I keep reminding myself that a snowy spring will lead to amazing wildflowers. I will be thankful for that!

  8. Our bluebirds have orange on their breasts, so I wondered why you called it a bluebird day until I saw your bird picture. It really was!

  13. Spring snow is pretty how it is heavy and sticks to the trees. It is time for it to melt and let the green start showing up in your part of the world.

  14. The day after a snowstorm always seems to have the best blue skies. Yours are quite exquisite.

  15. I don't think I could take another snowstorm at this point! We've been getting a lot of rain since May started though. At least it is helping things to turn green, but we could use more sunshine at this point! At least you get blue skies! We saw bluebirds several weeks ago but haven't seen them since. I hope they come back and weren't just passing through!
