The weather forecast has been threatening snow all week! Finally last night it started to dump after some feeble attempts earlier in the afternoon. I woke up this morning to the silentness of a snow covered backyard view from my bedroom window, and was able to lay there for a while and watch the giant flakes come down. There are not many things as beautiful as snow in the morning when everything is still.
Based on the fact that literally every public school in the state of Oregon was closed because of the weather (we are wimps) I was really hoping for a snow day as well... but, no such luck. Sadly, the snow did not last and by mid afternoon was pretty much diminished completely. Pat and Hayden did manage to build a snowman for our front yard though before it all went away. I am sure he is still guarding the front door.
I, of course, got some pictures this morning before the snow was too tainted by the warming weather.
