WINTER WEATHER...

is a little EXTREME right now!

And I am NOT complaining..... it's sure been fun to see what is next. Of course when you live in Kansas, that comes with the territory. We started off with 4.2" of rain last week which totally filled our pond.  Sure made all the farmers happy getting all that runoff, and the wheat is really looking good! Then we had more rainstorms and HAIL which actually drifted on the side of the house in piles. Never have I seen that before. When you looked outside the ground was totally covered with hail, but it was small. Thankfully!



 Our pond is revealing OUR ISLAND again!

 This picture was taken the next day after noon. The pile was way bigger!

Then, today we got our first SNOW. Which, by the way, the weather forecasters never forecasted! So, we were just a little surprised. It was one of those beautiful fluffy snows so full of wonderful moisture. We would probably have quite a bit by now, but a lot has melted during the day since noon. As of 9:00 p.m. it is still snowing but I think it is about over. We are so thankful for all this moisture, and they are predicting more this weekend!
Everything is so pretty!!
