a day of snow

 Much fun was had yesterday as we woke to a blanket of snow across our place. Snow very rarely falls and settles here so it was very exciting for everyone. The snow fell as low as to settle on some of the nearby beaches. I'm not so sure that my plants were as happy about it as we humans were.

 My netted orchard almost snapped under the weight of the snow, a few branches from the apricot tree did get broken off. But what a fantastic sight.
