Backyard Winter Wonderland

Hello fellow garden lovers!

So...apparently there is snow on the ground in 49 states! Read about it here! Palmdale still has snow in the foothills! However, the white blanket covering the backyard has melted.

But here are are few more photos of the recent backyard turned "winter wonderland!" :)

Do you currently have snow on the ground? :)

Merlin the Snow Cat!

The other morning, my significant other, Jon, and I came looked out the window to find 4 inches of snow!!!

Yes, we know he is not normal...

It rarely snows in Palmdale... so needless to say, we were very excited!

And so was Merlin!




   

The last time it snowed was 2 years ago... and it was then we learned that Merlin has a strange affinity for it. What cat loves snow?!?

Most cats would prefer being curled up next to a warm fire. But not Merlin! He stands by the door, begging to me let outside.

So, we let him have his way...

  

Poor Merlin... he had a tooth removed the other day, hence the missing fur on his neck. 



Please tell me Merlin isn't the only weirdo cat that likes snow? :)

The First Snow!

Yesterday morning, the backyard was covered with a light dusting of snow!

It was sooooooooo cold! But I managed to snap a photo of the mint, which has invaded the backyard... (my mom was not kidding when she said make sure to never let it get out of the pot!) I don't know what happened...

Apparently, it lives on through at least several freezes (and now snow!)

Anyways... welcome winter! Please bring lots of snow this year! Maybe even a white Christmas? :)
