Wow - Snow!




It started a few days ago - they said 1-2 inches - we got about 5, then they said a few days and then more snow - we got 4 more - then they said no snow overnight - we got 2". Guess we can't count on "them". And then not many miles south of here they got no snow until last night, and a few miles south of that there is forecast up to 16" more - go figure. Just hope that 16" stays south. And yet in that same area some places have no snow at all and some have more than plenty. It is a crazy weather pattern, and they are saying rain by Friday to melt it all - we'll see.

The little neighbor girls just went by, dragging their sled up the hill beside our yard - fun is about to commence!!!







This morning on the deck. . .

No one is swinging on these rings today . . .

The magic of snow covered trees . . .

Bird feeder on the end of the swing set . . .


Rain gauge last night - it is a bird with a rain tube on it . . .

Deck table last night. What looks like frog eyes are two gnomes who got snowed under.


Deck table this morning - no sign of those hardy gnomes.

And we are expecting more snow. Don is working from home today, I will be knitting and for dinner beef/rice/cheesey casserole and salad - just right for a wintery day.

What are you doing this wonderful day?
