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.

  1. 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.

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

  5. 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!

  10. 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?

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

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

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

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
