Morning snow pictures

You can see one side of the finch sack is coated with snow. The storm came at us from the north and coated that side of all of the trees and anything else that snow would stick to. There are 5 finches in this picture, 2 on thistle seed sacks and 3 waiting their turn to eat.
I wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch the cardinal eating below the squirrel. He flew off with a seed to take to his mate in the tree.
I hope this is the last time this year that I will have snow in April pictures for you!

I hope these are the last snow in April pictures too -- although it's starting to look like I may have to take a few as well. So far it has been pouring down rain, then thundersnow and now rain again. I'm hoping we don't go back to snow but ...

pretty pictures but too bad it is in April. I had to cover up some plants last night and will again tonight as we are getting a freeze here in central Arkansas.

I hpoe this is the last of it for you. Although the chance of snow here has past, we're stil susceptible to heavy frosts which reeks havoc with the fruit trees.

I loved your finch photos! If this was November I would get all excited, but by April I have had enough. Let's hope it melts quickly! I also loved your cactus photo! Mine are all mixed up too, blooming since way before Christmas until now.

Great pics! Wanted to let you know about my blog give-away, since I was lucky enough to win yours. It is the April 3 post at All Things Quilty.

I don't know if I would count on it being the last time. Mother Nature has been a little fickle lately. But you certainly got quite a bit of the white fluffy stuff. At least this time of year, it won't be around for too long.

I hope you have no more snow this year and we have no more cold (32 tonight and 28 tomorrow: in South AL).
