Snow/Sun. Cold/Hot. Winter Coat/Short Sleeves. Boots/Sandals. The weather here is a bit… fickle.

On Tuesday it snowed all day and it was, for Denver, a bit cold. (I say “for Denver” because even when it’s cold here, it’s not really. Going back to Chicago and Wisconsin in March reminded me of the bitter cold there. Even when it’s 30 degrees here, you often leave your jacket unzipped and you hardly ever put gloves on.)

So anyways, Tuesday. We played out in the alley, as we often do. Adeline isn’t really a fan of the cloudy, cold, snowy days. But she got a little happier when she discovered the puddles. Splash splash!

Not really a fan of the snow

Snow in the flowers

Blooming trees through the snow

Puddles make Adeline happy

And then we woke up yesterday to a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the snow had melted, and, oh hell, I’ll just say it, the birds were singing! Adeline may not like the snow, but girl LOVES a chance to run around outside when it’s warm and sunny.  I didn’t get as many “sunny” pictures because we were just having too much fun.

Ready to rock and roll

On the loose!

We’ve only been here a little over a year, so we’re still getting used to the weather. But I gather this is a pretty common occurrence.  I guess a cold, snowy day isn’t that bad when it’s followed immediately by a beautiful, warm day. And as for the sunny days – I love them!
