Spring in Wyoming and Snow on the Ground

The last day of April brought snow!  We woke up to this.....   But snow brings green grass and mud.  I try to not complain about the mud after ten years of drought moisture is a big plus!

Had two new shorthorn cross calves yesterday.  I bet they are not impressed with the weather, poor babies!

Been working on my sewing projects.  I made matching mother/daughter outfits for the granddaughter and my daughter-in-law for their birthdays.  This is the Granddaughter's outfit.  Mother's is the same only larger.


I used the smocked material for the mini-dress and nice soft knit cotton for the capris & shrug.  Might have to redo the shrug as I made my own pattern so it matched mothers' and I think the armholes are a wee bit too tight.  Felt strange to finish them this morning with snow on the ground. 

A quilt is my next project.
