A Beautiful Spring Snow

The last thing I did before I went to bed on the first day of spring was to check the weather. There was a slight chance of snow and the weatherman said that our area was expected to get a trace to an inch of snow.

I was mad. I was done with winter and an inch of snow was just enough to make everything a mess.

My drive to take the kids to school would be a mess, my drive to work would be a mess, my clean car would be a mess and the nice, dry yard would once again turn into a mud pit.

As I tried to drift off to sleep in my state of snow madness I thought about Sherman and Leroy.

All of a sudden I wanted them to have snow because what if the snow we had weeks ago was the last of the snow of the season and I didn’t give them enough time to enjoy it? What if I didn’t get enough pictures?

I hate thinking like that but I think many of us with senior Newfs think  something along those lines each season, what if this is THE LAST SNOW?  I can only hope that it’s not and that next winter they will be able to enjoy more snow together but I can’t see into the future that far.

I was awoken the next morning by my son creeping up next to my bed telling me that school was cancelled and that I could shut my alarm off. I jumped out of a bed with a huge smile on my face and said, “Really?!”

I ran to the window to peek outside and although it was still dark outside I could see the yard blanketed in much more than a trace of snow.

There was inches upon inches of snow. Maybe even the most snow we got at once all winter.

 

The trees were covered in snow and I couldn’t see any grass peeking through.

I was so excited to let Sherman and Leroy out to see it.

It was like the first snow of the season instead of possibly the last.

It was a beautiful spring snow and I  decided right there that I was going to take as many pictures of Sherman and Leroy as I could in it because no one can have too many pictures of their Newfies in the snow, right?

I took over 240 pictures yesterday. The ones in today’s post are a few of my favorites.

These boys are past the snow zoomies. They don’t do much other than lay in it and eat it but I can tell it makes them happy.

I was super excited to get some pictures of Sherman and Leroy close together because there’s just not enough of those.

I know snow in spring is a bummer for many of us but these boys made this specific spring snow beautiful for me.

Aww, brings a tear to my eye! I love those seniors. So glad you got some special pictures of your boys. I also don't have enough pictures of my two dogs close together. Will make a point to try to get some this week.

To say this winter has been weird is an understatement but happy your boys were able to enjoy one more storm. Have to confess, we're quite jealous of your good fortune since winter hop-scotched over us this year for the most part. Our version of snow has morphed into another 4 lettered word-wind.
