Winter Wonderland

Well, it's here. The weather guys have been talking about this storm for a week. Thankfully, here it hasn't gotten as bad as they first thought. I think there's about 1/2" of ice on the trees. The snow's been coming down since last night around 10 and it's not suppose to quit til after dark. We'll see how much we get!

I'm always amazed at how quiet snow makes the world. Maybe it works as a buffer. Maybe it's just because nobody is out and about. I love that part.

Doing chores around here takes twice as long as usual, but that's just part of the deal. The ice on the tanks and pond this morning was about 2 inches thick, but it was kinda a slushy ice. Does that make sense? It wasn't too tough to break.

It's almost time to go out again and get everything fed. I think I'll go have another chocolate chip cookie!!

  2. The snow is gorgeous! I love it! But I don't have to venture out in it and feed...I can just stand here at the window and take pictures :)
