Snowing in June

Every year, around this time, we get our "June Snow" as the kids like to call it. And it really does look like snow... whirling and swirling in the air, sticking to the screens and covering the plants. But here is the culprit... our giant Cottonwood Tree! It showers us with it's soft, feathery fluff, So much that I start imagining making pillows and using it for stuffing. But we are thankful for the warm winds of June that blow it around, and even more thankful that it isn't really snowing in June.
