Two steps forward, one step back...

We've had a relapse in the weather department.

We were down to bare ground on Friday.  Saturday I woke up to that.

My lavender is clearly Not Happy:

 And here's the view through my big rosebush:

Rosehips with frosting:

It rained later in the day, and washed most of the nasty white stuff away.  But who knows what tomorrow will bring?

(It was particularly disheartening when I went to transfer these images from the camera's memory card - the photos were right next to the azalea shots I took in Florida...)

(And to anyone who was worried - no, I wasn't eaten by weasels.  No further sightings of the little fella, though we did find a mousetrap, sprung and sans mouse, bait still intact, pulled back under the stove...)

Yep. This one's gonna stick.

Crap.

The sheep, shown here happily munching on hay, have a light dusting of snow on their backs.  Cuz, why would they go inside a shelter when there's a perfectly good snowstorm to stand out in?
.

 The ones who seemed ticked off by all the white stuff are the turkeys.  They're too young to have experienced it before, and they spent most of the day stalking around making loud "Pwweot!  Pwweot!"  noises.  Apparently this is Turkey for "WTF?"

They spent the latter part of the afternoon perched on their gate.  I think they were tired of walking in the white stuff, and why would they go inside their shelter when there's a perfectly good snowstorm to stand out in?

I think they've been taking sheep lessons.
