Not Complaining...

The sun coldly climbed over the mountain and the house this morning.  The ice reflected the morning light.  Not a breeze stirred so it seemed warm after minus degrees yesterday.

The pond was still frozen as my driver flew by this morning.  Yes, still had to be driven but the snow is beginning to melt and there are rumors of spring like temperatures in the week to come.

So today, I chose to see the beauty in the frozen landscape. 

 I listened to birds sing and discovered jewels in the ice.

As the snow begins to retreat,

I believe, maybe, spring will come after all.

Ki-Anne and Andrew

Boys and dogs!

A ornery combination

but things always settle down.

I do think the hot pepper is growing.

Thursday's, OH, Gosh, She's STILL Whining About That Snow!

It was still a four wheel drive day as my driver took me to work.  Minus four degrees F...too cold!  In this picture it is hard to tell where the snow ends and the pond begins.  I tried to take pictures but the windows were frozen shut and my driver was flying.

Oh, the pictures I COULD have taken if someone wasn't driving forty-eleven miles an hour!  Here is my masterpiece, a blur outcropping of snow covered rocks with my hand and camera reflected in the frozen glass.

The road looked like glass and the few cars we met were going slow unlike my driver...but the sun was shining and that made it a better day.

The sun, in all its winter glory, shined brightly and make the snow look like diamonds.  The warmer weather is coming...I just know it.  If it's not here soon, does any one  have a good recipe for groundhog?

Bad Pictures Of Good Horses...

One of these days...

I shall have a good picture

of running horses.

Wednesday Weather Update...

Maybe we might have snow...duh!!!!!  It has snowed all day.  I was a dedicated employee and was at work on time.  Could not have done it without Hubby and his assistant, Andrew.  No school, of course.

Going out was not as bad

as coming home.

This is the same stretch of road, notice the combine.  It has snowed all day and the only thing that saved us was the flakes were tiny and dry.  We have around six inches and it's still snowing.  I know, I know, that is not even enough snow to sneeze at but here, it is crippling. 

The state and  county have been running blades all day and  the road is still covered.  I cleaned the walk at work three times and finally gave up.  Tomorrow I think I will use my driver again.

My poor car did not even get the snow swept off it.  It shall be a cocoon until Friday when, it is rumored, the temperatures will be in the fifties.

This was one evening I was glad to kick my boots off.  I shall warm by the fire and dream of wearing flip flops this weekend.
