Spring Snow

Do you know that old adage, "April showers bring May flowers"? Well, what do you get when it snows at the end of April?


The weather in Big Bear has been crazy this year. The annual snow fall, which is now officially over ten feet, has broken records dating back to the 60s. Residents here are a little in denial. Any report of upcoming snow in the forecast and everyone goes into a chorus of, "No way, that can't be right." After the five feet of snow that came down within two days in December, it does seem pretty impossible.

At least Lilly and JJ still enjoy the snow. I suspect one of the reasons is because they know I won't leave them outside while we're at work. That, and Lilly dearly loves to dig her nose in the snow and pretend that she is on the hunt. She "catches" the occasional stick.

Here in Babyland, I'm not effected much by the changing weather. In fact, every day seems rather sunny to me. Although, Jason and I did have to brave the weather last night to drive to Walgreens and pick up a last minute prescription. My midwife called in a (baby-safe) antibiotic for me just thirty minutes before the pharmacy closed. The drive there typically takes ten minutes, but with the snow coming down, we arrived just as they were closing the window and locking up. The pharmacist was less than thrilled to see me fly around the corner in my pajamas asking her to please fill my prescription. Don't worry, the antibiotic is for a pretty minor issue, my midwife was just a little anxious to get me started on the meds so that it wouldn't become a bigger problem.

And so, all is well here on the mountain as we try to enjoy the (hopefully!) last snow of the season.
