Study in White

I told myself that I wasn't going to take any snow pictures this winter. Why remind myself of my least favorite season? But, during this massive snowstorm currently dumping white stuff from the sky and dumping and dumping and dumping, there are some views that can't be missed.

This is the back deck railing at 7 AM this morning


The same railing at 11 AM


The first pass at clearing the driveway. The snow measured an even 18". Dave has already done it again today and will probably need to do it one more time before night and again in the AM so I can go to work.


Just in case you can't figure this one out - there is a basalt fountain under there!


I hung snowflakes in the living room windows when I decorated for Christmas. Now there are fake snowflakes looking out onto real snowflakes.




There's a potting bench under there somewhere


The garden house cloaked in snow


And, my favorite - the little, metal snowman at the front door
