Scenes from a walk a few days ago.
Tag Archives: new snow
A week ago, I joined a friend for a snowshoe adventure. I am not fond of snowshoeing but living in a place with a long winter, a person needs lots of ways to get out and enjoy the snow. I managed to trip myself up more than once and I was quite tired when we were done but still, it was so lovely and a great day to be out. Now the highway is closed and we won’t see this area again til next May or June.
We have had a bit of snow here. Enough that people are worried about the weight of it on their roofs. So far, it is mostly light and fluffy and doesn’t weigh too much and our house has a pretty stout roof so we are not worrying about it. Yet.
Snow has been falling since the wee hours of the morning. I think the forecast said it would end by midday but it only slowed for a bit and then kept coming! We have been waiting for the snow for a while and no doubt, will be tired of it before it all goes away. Ski trails are getting groomed and we will soon be out there with all the other snow lovers in the valley.
In addition to new snow, the Fed Ex driver (after getting stuck on our driveway) brought me a new camera! Not many things more fun than a new camera. Well, maybe a puppy but we are not looking for a puppy right now.
So I ventured out in the snow. Finches crowded the feeders and didn’t mind my presence. The dogs were not so sure about staying out too long, especially Luna. They were somewhat cooperative.
Yesterday was just lovely! Blue skies, new snow, sparkles everywhere. New snow makes the world seem fresh again.
