No matter how many toys and play things...

. . . . every once in awhile, a girl just has to run, and run; back and forth.

Note how bare the tree is. This was taken April 10. We've had about 4" more snow since then.

I wasn't even kidding

Remember back in my December post about the snow being Mother Nature's White Trash? Well here it is February 4th and the trash snow is taller and dirtier.

These were taken at the Health Center parking lot at BYU. I had some time to kill while waiting for a friend.

You can see how high it is in comparison to a truck, and a car.
We lose parking spots all over campus for piles of snow, so every weekend, a truck comes and carries some of it away.

At least it's sunny - but you can tell it's still really cold as the snow is NOT melting.

Mother Nature's cruel joke.

While posting these, I realized I was right up against the mountain and could've taken gorgeous pictures if I'd turned halfway around. Instead, I felt the need to prove I am right.

*sigh*

January and February make me very pessimistic.

WHY I DON'T LIKE SNOW VERY MUCH

These are pictures of a parking lot on campus, taken 15 December. Yes, the snow is already piled in big dirty piles that will likely stick around well into March.
Snow looks beautiful, serene, and peaceful for about 10 minutes. Then, life takes over and we must get it out of our way. No snow days taken in Utah - no matter how deep it gets, or how fast it falls! This is my 13th consecutive winter here, and nothing has been cancelled for snow. Ever. Not even once.

It becomes dirty, nasty and totally ugly. I can feel good about calling it
"Mother Nature's White Trash."
