Spring snow storm

Snow is falling blinding white,
Oh so beautiful for the sight.

Now that little poem is mine, not very good but it is mine.

 The snow started falling on Wednesday, big, white, fluffy flakes and has continued to fall until now and it has made the brown drabness of spring disappear under a white blanket.
It has played hell with the traffic though, with many road closures and a large number of accidents as for some reason any moisture causes chaos. When it starts to thaw in the next week I think it will continue to play havoc with the roads and trying to get anywhere in the country-side on the dirt roads will be very problematical.

 We watched yesterday through the window at the snow falling yesterday but this morning Jude and I were off for our walk in the Children's park just a few hundred metres from our front door and it was a gorgeous fairy land of white.

 Jude with her trusty stick enjoying our walk in the snow.

 Although it was 0C it wasn't too cold and just such a glorious morning to walk and as we did so the snow got heavier and heavier.

 Sadly this part of the Children's Park has become very neglected and it could be stunning with very little cost. You can imagine what it looked like in Soviet time's, over 20 years ago.

 I will try and photograph this park through the seasons.

 Jude and I thought we could see some vegetables growing in there but it may have been weeds!!

 Part of the Children's Park has been renovated and looks lovely now with a fairy tale castle having been built which they have put in a clock that chimes the hour and we can hear from our place which is quite delightful.

 Jude drawing in the snow and we felt like children playing in the snow... it draws out the child in you somehow which is just so nice, especially as we were in the Children's Park.

 Jude on the phone to her husband trying to find out where he was, as he had been caught in the snow storm down on the Gobi and unable to get home. Notice the snow really beginning to fall.

 The neglect includes the water pipe which has been spraying precious water into the air for at least the last three days and heavens knows how long it will continue for, as nobody seems very interested in fixing it.

 View from the steps of Millies looking towards the Monastery with the snow coming down and actually settling.

 A timeless photo.

 Inside the Monastery grounds, so picturesque

 So beautiful.

 Spring buds on the trees now being covered in snow.

Snow is falling

Snow is falling From the sky above Snow is falling Put on scarf and glove Snow is falling Go look outside Snow is falling The old landscape it hide Snow is falling What a beautiful sight Snow is falling It sparkles in the light Snow is falling Soft cotton wool flakes Snow is falling A white blanket it makes Snow is falling Short flowers disappear Snow is falling The cold is here Snow is falling Its time to play Snow is falling Lets make snowmen today :)
