A Snowy Easter in California

 


We woke up Easter morning to a blanket of fresh snow.  “A White Easter,” I thought to myself.  Not exactly what you would expect in California.  It was elegant and beautiful, though.



The snow plow came through and I spent the holiday shoveling my deck, parking spaces, and driveway.  It was tiring, but an excellent workout.  After clearing the powder off the cars and their windows, I took a sauna and cold plunge to relieve my aching muscles.  

I love the rainbow shades of pink, peach, and yellow daffodils and tulips that I bought from Moonstruck Farms.  They are arranged in a crystal vase on my kitchen table.  What a contrast against the clean, white, cold snow.  


How was your Easter?

    1. Yes, I agree, Jules. We had more snow last night. Happy Easter to you and Lily, as well.

  2. It's a winter wonderland! More suited for a Christmas card than for an Easter card! I had a glimpse of some snowy mountains in the distance when I drove, today, and couldn't believe it!

  3. Wow not the pictures I was expecting to see in California! Here in Atlantic Canada we've had lots of rain in the past few weeks, but Easter Sunday the sun came out. It was cool but a nice day. Other than clearing snow, which I don't like doing, I hope you had a good Easter. Jen

  7. That must have been a real shock - or was it forecast. As you say, not what one expects for Easter but the photos are absolutely stunning. xx

    1. Thank you, Joy. Yes, it was in the forecast. You always have to check the weather up here. It can change drastically in a matter of minutes.

  8. That title does seem like an oxymoron doesn't it 😂 It sure is beautiful though.

  9. Snow always looks so beautiful. I also like the hushed silence that comes with snow, even in busy places. I assume it has cleared now? I envy you for the sauna!
