We seem to have been having the “normal” amount of snowfall this winter. I love snow so this is good news to me. What is kind of icky is, every week, it gets into the mid-40s, so any snow we get goes away…or goes sloshy.
The other day we had an ice storm before it decided to turn to snow. Penny the Overactive Blue Heeler and I went for a walk on the property to see what we could see.
Ice on a maple branch
Fox and rabbit tracks
Some ice-burdened, droopy pines
Glad you came to visit!

Our cedar trees are still bent over from last years ice storm. I thought that they would bounce back with a wet spring and normal summer, but our summer was very dry.
Great pics, El! We’ve had a bit of the same: melting, ice, snow again. It’s good to see winter.
At least it’s having the decency to cover back up with snow after a thaw. A blanket of fresh snow helps keep the spring fever from setting in too badly….
Lovely pictures of snow and ice.
I love the photo of the rabbit and fox tracks. It would be a great cue for a creative writing class. I wonder how the photo ended.
Woody: (Hi!) Yeah, some of our cedars are still looking a bit bendy from last year’s storms too. Such strange weather. Ice isn’t normally a part of the mix here.
Liz: Yeah, finally there’s enough of the white stuff (without it melting first that is) that I could get the skis out and slush around.
Emily: When I moved to Chicago after college, I was so distressed by the gray icy cold-ness that comes with living on the wrong side of the lake! Even if it’s gray here it’s bright. I LOVE snow.
Nada: Oh boy. Lots of it. SO different from your summer today, certainly!
Kelly: Go for it. We followed the fox tracks for a while. It was definitely in a trot. And the darned bunnies are everywhere so hopefully it helped itself to one.
