Snow

It is causing problems with electricity and internet connection and some are not so safe and warm...

but it is quite beautiful.
My road.

Red barn to show the camera does take color photos.



Arching branches laden with snow.


It was especially beautiful when this  morning, ever so briefly, a ray of sunshine pierced the grey clouds and lit the scene.  It was like being in a church.

    The photos are gorgeous. It's too bad what looks so nice can be so dangerous. We're having above normal temperatures so our snow is disappearing. I doubt it will last through Christmas but I'll enjoy it as long as it lasts.

    Your road looks snow-covered and a bit dangerous! But, the snow sure makes everything look filigreed and lovely. That barn really pops!

    The scenery is beautiful - from a distance, like inside your warm house! Enjoy.

    It IS pretty. Especially in little snapshots that I can look at and pass by. To be IN IT . . . not so much.
    You did get some gorgeous pictures there, though!

    Oh, so beautiful! So very Robert Frost! But it's good to see that the highway is clear.

    Hard to imagine Florida with the beauty all around you.

    Your photos are truly wonderful. I think the red barn photo is worthy of a big frame. It belongs on the wall. I do love a snow storm like this for its beauty. I don't like the other hindrances that come with it. My dear friend in Vermont and I spoke via FaceTime this week while she had power from the generator. She too was in the midst of a winter wonderland and all that accompanies it. When do you go to Florida?

    Ditto Retired English Teacher's comment on the red barns photo.

    The snow is very beautiful indeed! The kind of beauty that I don't miss at all. I gladly sacrifice all such beauty to you.

    I am so glad you at least have power and are able to see the pure beauty of a Vt. snow. It is like not other. That red barn is awesome with its thick snowy roof. Stay safe and warm.

    I think I have told you before that my Norton security software blocks a virus when I clicked onto your blogsite. You may want to have someone check that out. It is something "sweet orange." Beautiful weather and so dangerous. Just like love.

    WOW, it looks so cold but it really is beautiful. That snow looks so heavy on those trees. Glad you have power and hope everyone else does soon. Stay warm!

    Love your snow photos. Can't wait till we get a good snow. We've only had a tease so far.

    Isn't it true?! We had ice rain over night and huge snowflakes today. Lots of cool tracks in the forest!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while Levi
