still snowing…

Although it looks at times like it’s lightening up a bit…
It’s so beautiful out there I took my camera with me the last time I went to the barn…
It’s still coming down pretty good.
Here’s dd#2’s old car… almost buried in snow. (We have it because we are supposed to be selling it for her. Anybody want an older Geo Tracker convertible? It’s got four wheel drive and would be great for days like today!)
The animals were snug in their stalls when I first went out… They are all three peaking out the stall doors, but I don’t know it you can even see them through the snow.
Then, as I got to the barn Tucker left… this bad weather has him even more skittish than usual.
He had to lift his legs pretty high to clear the snow…
Poor Tucker, knee deep in white stuff, and looking pretty miserable.
The trail from the barn to the house. I’ve already shoveled this trail, right down to the paving stones, three times since this storm started. Looks like it’s about time to do it again.
Back in the house again, the fire felt good. (the logs laying in front of the fireplace are drying… they are so wet and snowy from being outside, I’m drying them a little before I put them into the fire.)
my neighbor asked “Wasn’t this supposed to be over at noon?” I replied “I don’t think the clouds know how to tell time.”
I wish we had a real fire instead of a gas one. I hope you were able to get those logs dry enough.
You make me miss the snow. That fire looks lovely!
I always enjoy a snowstorm, as long as I don’t have to go anywhere!!!! Your photos are really pretty!
Aw, i’m so jealous!! The snow, the fire, everything looks so lovely!
I’m glad the streets dried off since we haev to go back and forth to the hospital. Still, it’s great to see the snow.
That fire DOES look lovely. Though I don’t envy you all that snow. *LOL*
Wow, I didn’t realize that you were having such weather! We are actually having some sun shine here. The snow is just beautiful. As I was saying yesterday at our Department retreat (we rent a vacation house right on the ocean…incredible views….), out of all the weather in the world I prefer the climate in Colorado ….or high altitude Nepal.
