The Big Snow!










We got over 12 inches of snow on Wednesday night. As I write this Friday morning (because we lost power for most of the day Thursday) the snow is still plastered to the trees, branches are weighted down, and piles of snow look unchanged. We've had no wind since it fell though during the height of the storm there was wind and lightning and thunder. They called it thunder snow and that's why we got so much in such short a time.

Come Walk in My Woods With Me

We had snow last night, but now the sky is clear. Even though there's a stiff wind it's perfect for a walk in the woods around my house. We'll start off in the perennial garden then head down into the glen, crossing the creek twice. There's lots to see on all sides and even behind us. Let's just walk and absorb the sights.























Here's the driveway. We'll cross it and turn to the north following a deer trail through the woods.




















Here we are back at the house. We'll go in the front door and get warm. Care for a cup of tea?
