“Snowmen fall from heaven… unassembled.” – Unknown Here in my part of the world we’ve had snow this week with a half inch of ice on top of those six inches and then about two or three inches on top of that! In recent years we’ve had mild winters where we might get a little snow, but it never lasted …
Snow! You either love it, endure it, or hate it. Or maybe like me, you like it sometimes, maybe even most of the time, but get tired of it if the snow overstays its welcome. I’m sort of the one good snow a year and that’s enough, but I know some people love snow so much they want the ground …
“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different.” – J.B. Priestley I like living in an area where the landscape takes on new looks as the seasons change. That’s not to say that I’m not ready …
“Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.” — Jacob Rees-Mogg When my children were still young and often had to wait for something, such as their mother getting something done for them, I would often tell them that patience was a great virtue. I’m sure they didn’t consider the wisdom of my words, but instead wanted to shut their …
We got some more snow Thursday and Friday and then the Big Chill came barreling down on us. Windchills in the minus zero range. This morning’s temperature was below zero, but it didn’t feel all that bad when I went out with the dogs. I didn’t stay all that long and by our afternoon walk, it was a balmy 25 …
“The footprints you leave behind will influence others. There is no person who at some time, somewhere, somehow, does not lead another.” ~Unknown One of the things I enjoy about walking in snow is seeing track trails. I live on a farm and that means I can see fields untouched by human feet, vehicles or livestock. Cows are confined to one …
“Snow brings a special quality with it—the power to stop life as you know it dead in its tracks.” ~Nancy Hatch Woodward. I guess I took a snow day last night before the snow actually started here in Kentucky. Whatever, I let Wednesday and most of Thursday slip by without doing a post. I could certainly claim a snow day …
“A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky—unbidden—and seems like a thing of wonder.”</strong> ~Susan Orlean I didn’t get my post done last night and so I took you for a walk with me on the new fallen snow this morning. Not much snow. Maybe 2 inches, but however much it was, it coated all the tree limbs …
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” (John Ruskin) Snow is in the air tonight. The temperature plunged and the rain started turning white. Frankie went outside a while ago and came back with white sprinkled all across his …
“How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year!” ~Thomas Wentworth Higginson I like the seasons of the year. Each one brings its own gifts, and one of the gifts of winter is snow. So far this winter, our area is in a snow drought. Instead of snow we’ve had lots …
