I Was Wrong!

 I'm not sure the meteorologists were exaggerating after all.  We haven't had any serious snow squalls, which reduce visibility to nil, but we have had a lot of snow!  Maybe 12" by now; at least our snowstick is almost covered!  It sure does leave a very pretty world, as well as the hum of snowblowers in my ears.

The view out the back just looks white.

The planters on the deck are deep under a blanket of snow.

There's almost nothing to see in a photo of the snowstick, just a mound of white and a shadow.

The branches of the Redbud out the back window caught a surprising amount of snow.  Lots of brown seedpods.

Ah, but we're prepared.  With me in a wheelchair we use a snowblowing service, and here he is.  They also provide snow shovelling of the front walk, all for a price of course.  It's sunny out now, and the snowy world is very beautiful.

  1. It is a whole new way of living when you get a winter like this. I always thought living where snow would fall right by the front door would be wonderful, but in reality staying indoors, keeping warm, and watching the snow blower clear the street and driveway is much better. The red tractor makes a statement against all the white.

  2. Snowblowers should definitely have mufflers. Pretty white covering everything, but I'm glad to hear you've got somebody looking to clear your way.
