"A Change of Pace....."

The only work done yesterday, was snow shoveling....off the driveway, steps, deck, roof, and a path out to the chicken coop.  Not once, but at least twice by both of us.....and the snow continued falling.  Today will be yet another day of shoveling.....BUT.......the sky is clear and it is colder, so snow (ice?) removal will be a bit harder, although yesterdays was no picnic due to it being wet and heavy.

It is beautiful.......


Rob's poor little Redbud tree took a hit though.......





Here is what we woke up to this morning.....a huge branch ripped from our Maple tree out front, alongside another one that came from a tree across the street.


Rob has already removed the broken limb from his Redbud tree.


This is our Evergreen which spreads its limbs over the driveway.  Notice the limbs hanging almost vertically "into" the driveway?  That is how heavy the snow was/is.......


I'm sure more photos will be taken of our "Winter Wonderland" today.  I'll have to say my mantra while shoveling...."isn't this beautiful....isn't this beautiful.....isn't this beautiful".   ;)

Glad you are getting the moisture as I am sure the lakes there will love the run off later. But I know from experience that it is sure a headache to keep the paths clear and weight off the roofs. 2 years ago we got over 20 inches and even used the snow blower on the deck and hubby shoveled snow off the shed roof. Wonder if we will go another winter with no snow> We need rain at least and if it snows, I just stay home!!
