Pikes Peak As Seen From Our House

May Snow

On Saturday we were 80 degrees F (27 degrees C) at our house. But here are some photos just taken a few minutes ago in our front yard, to show the crazy weather we get here. Yes, it snows in May!
After lots of sunny, warm weather, it looks like winter again.
These are blossoms on a tree in our yard. Trees must be able to adapt to the wild temperature swings or they don't survive here.
And these cold photos are for Our World Tuesday!

  1. Beautiful! I know you probably would prefer a 'normal' spring but I would love a decent snowfall any time of year.

  12. Beautiful shots! With those temperatures, I'm guessing the snow didn't stick around for long.

  14. I've told our CO kids that if I ever moved there, my moods would be even springier than they are anyway a --that changing weather would really take some getting used to. (They love it though!) Beautiful cold pictures!
