Fairy Dust?

What do you think it is?

Whazzat?

Whazzat?

Fairy dust?  Saw dust?  Pollen?

Today, I stepped out the door to place an outgoing letter in the mailbox.  I had taken only a few steps when the first drops began to fall.  A little rain water never hurt anyone.  I kept walking.

I remember my mother used to collect rain water in a tub.  She wanted soft water and that’s how she got it.  She taught me that rain water is soft water.

By the time I reached the mailbox, that rain was starting to feel like hard water.  On the way back to the house, I could see the little pellets hitting the driveway ahead of me.  Snow!  No, really.  One-eighth-inch size little snow balls were hitting the ground.

As I stepped into the house, the pace picked up.  Maybe I could capture an image.  I did that.  Got two shots.

April snow upon the grass

Like most April snows, this one didn’t last long.

  1. I had a clue because I had read Sharkey’s post in which she mentioned snow. She graciously did not show us a picture of it. :rofl: :

  2. My son’s teacher sent home an email to dress the kids in coats because cool weather and another light snow were coming. I hope it’s that light only. :up:

      • Soccer game at 9 this morning. I hope we don’t freeze out thar’ 😉 I like the later games better when it’s chilly. 🙂 No snow in the forecast today, woot!
