Unpredictable

That's the weather in the desert all right! Last week we had a 90 degree scorcher, and today, April 9th....

I mean really who covers hay...In the desert....In APRIL??? Yeah, it snowed, I woke up this morning to a VERY unexpected white fairy land. And one very thrilled eight year old. Obie asks me to "Come outside! I have a present for you." This is NOT my first snow day so I of course asked him if it was a snowball. "Noooo" he says, and runs outside. Needless to say, when I headed out to feed the animals this morning, I had a gorgeous snowball in the hip... and a grinning, giggling brother! Even though most of the snow had melted, Obie had found enough for my "present", thanks love. The Llamas, were not quite as thrilled with our April surprise.

Bodie says that he is not a fan of snow, it covers all of the dove weed that he likes to eat. But he is happy to be munching on his hay! Well, the snow is just about melted now, but did make for a fun and eventful morning. We all deal with life's little surprises in different ways, sheep and brothers frolic, Llamas eat extra hay, my mom finds carrots for Obie's "Snow Jedi" and I write. Well, after a quick snowball fight that is!
