Here is a photo from our walk today. The weather was actually pretty overcast and a little chilly. The grasses are turning green though and that is encouraging.
Here are a couple of weather related photos from the last few weeks.
We took this photo a few weeks ago as part of our weather nature study. My son was trying to gauge how much rain we were having and then it started to drop in temperature and to snow. His water in the gauge froze. He noticed there was a thick layer on top and a slushy layer underneath. We had a lot of rain.
I thought this was a funny photo. There was a big frozen ice cube on top of my leftover broccoli in my container on the deck.
This week though we have had signs of early spring popping up in our backyard.
Violets….mmmmmm. They smell so delicious.
Daffodils in big bunches all around the yard. I can hardly wait!
We are hoping for some good rain and then perhaps some snow next week so the boys can go snowboarding. I will pack up my snowshoes as well in hopes that I can take a romp in the snow.
Oh, I love daffodils! We have to force them here, so I haven’t grown them. But, I buy some to sit indoors most years! 🙂
I really enjoy your photos of ice and of the beginnings of spring.
