The Beauty of a Snowstorm

Posted on December 27, 2012 | 13 Comments

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you…. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. ~Ruth Stout

These photos are views of my yard and were taken the morning after a snowstorm last week.

Enjoy (especially for my friend, Judy)!

Every mile is two in winter. ~George Herbert

  You are looking at a chicken coop (occupied by garden tools, not chickens), apple and pear trees, and beyond is, obviously, the woods. The fog is covering the rest of the trees. I love hiking there, but not when there is over a foot of snow on the ground. LOL!

I am going to need all that snow tomorrow, with the temp forecast to reach 44 degrees Celsius … 111 Fahrenheit! (I just Googled that information and now I am wishing I didn’t … I feel hot already, and it is about seven hours to sunrise!)

    We will just have to convince ourselves that the average is quite a pleasant temperature, and that is where we will meet!

Looks so pretty but I know from experience there’s major inconvenience with snow this deep!!

  George Herbert’s quote is so true! I’ll be shoveling the sidewalk before I leave for work today, since it snowed all day yesterday.
