First snow

Ugh.  We knew it had to come.  The fabulous weather couldn't last forever - not in Colorado.  On Tuesday morning out lovely ash tree in the backyard looked like this

A rainbow of reds, oranges, yellows and purples almost glowing in the glorious warm sunshine.  24 hours later....

 YUCK!  Heavy, wet snow that  threatened to snap our little peach tree - and did snap our neighbor's tree right in half!

 Caleb geared up to hit the snow off and try to save his peach tree

Lots of work for an early morning right before school, but it looks like the tree will be ok.

Sophie helped by watching Quinn while I got breakfast ready - complete with hot chocolate - for when Caleb was done.

Come on sunshine!  Melt this icky snow.
