Saturday spring returned with blue skies and warmer temperatures. Sunday winter took over again with a vengeance. Wind, heavy snow, and cold erased any trace of Saturday's warmth. My favorite pansy had recovered from the last snowstorm only to be left wearing a hat of new snow.
Much of my weekend entertainment happened while spinning with Emmylou. We had a blast with Funky Carolina Falklands Wool and made a simple 2-ply out of "A Simple Song". Two other long term spinning projects were started...more on that later.
Late in the the sun played across the mountains and above was a patch of blue sky. The week ahead will take March out, and bring April in, like a lion.
That's what springtime is like in Utah.
It's a good thing panies are strong; that little guy looks so cold. brrrrr

We have a theme going. We got snow, too;-) Love "A Simple Song". How much did you get? It's awful purdy. Happy Monday!

Oh, crap. There's too much snow this morning! Is it possible I'll have to get out the snowblower??!! I think so.

Lovely handspun! Looks warm and wooly.
I'll take a little of that snow off your hands.

The weather here varies wildly as well. One year we had a snow storm (I think it was in April) on Easter Sunday morning. It was an interesting drive home from church. I've held off on spring planting because the weather is still weird and probably will be until mid-April. Your mountain pictures are lovely as always.

What lovely handspun! The colors say spring to me, even if the weather is momentarily uncooperative.
I wish Laurie wouldn't say things like that. Haven't we had enough winter yet?

We had snow on Sunday morning, too! And more is coming tomorrow. Love that photo of the mountains.

Pansies are sturdy little flowers and can put up with a lot. Cute snow hat.
Nice skein!

Your newly spun yarn matches your spring sky! What great photos... here it was cold and windy today, but warmth is scheduled to return and the land is looking very green. Sorry about your feed problems.

At least you have flowers!!
Posted by: Chris | March 30, 2009 at 08:07 PM
Love the yarn!
We got a dusting of snow on Sunday morning, but it all melted off by the afternoon. I can't wait until more flowers show. Only the first few bulbs are out right now.

I absolutely love that perfect first picture!

I truly think your Utah mountains are more beautiful than any other mountains I've seen!

Oh, Margene! I know that there is nothing worse than snow when you are thinking blooming flowers, but that snow on the pansy? Just gorgeous! :)
