Snow

For the past few weeks, we've been having highs of 90 degrees. As soon as the boys get back from school, they change into shorts (no T-shirts even!). All of our peach trees have bloomed, as well as almonds and some of the pears and plums. And now, all of a sudden, a front moved in and we are covered with snow.

It's the most snow we've had here, and the boys got to make their first ever snowman!
