Hammered!


What a day! Yesterday there was snow on the ground in the morning and I can't shovel because of a strain. So Kathy shoveled three times during the day. I think the total snowfall was about 8 inches. Then last night it started snowing again, and by this morning there were 14 additional inches of snow on the ground! I mean, we were seriously snowed in! Fortunately, the neighbor across the street offered his snow blower when he was done. What a lifesaver! Anyhow, after three hours, the driveway and the back sidewalk were clean. What cool machines, snowblowers! And the other neighbor's shoveling was eased when I went over there with the snow blower. Anyhow, the first time I stepped onto the front porch in the morning I saw my favorite tree, and it was stunning under its heavy coating of snow. Just beautiful! Click.

Beautiful, but I have had enough snow for this winter. 16 inches more and a lot more expected next week.

This looks like the Japanes Maple covered in snow which you photographed 1 or 2 years ago and which I saved as my screensaver. Only now this one is almost buried under all the snow...bsk

Ken lives in South Carolina now. He DID live across the street from us. He foolishly claims to like it better down there... :-)
