This gorgeous buck ambled up our sidewalk- he didn't

stay long- just long enough for me to take his picture!

It's winter now-no need to wait for Winter Solstice!

Note the little quail tracks...I heard them and saw their

tracks, but never saw them yesterday while out

shoveliing our very long driveway...

To see more tracks from yesterday go here:

Discovery of tomato worm means I cannot

blame the chipmunks any more. Nor the birds.
Nor the elf.

Mt Shasta is almost without snow on this side.

Two more months will most likely bring it some snow.

Life cannot get better than this view out our dining room!

Taken a few hours ago-it's already melting from rain.

The rain can stop anytime now!
We have had non-stop percipitation for the last 10 days.
Intellectually I know we need it-
Emotionally I would like some sunshine please!

Snow makes everything so much more beautiful....

Photo #60

It snowed and blowed all afternoon and last night
It's still too dark to take a photo this morning, but while the
internet is functioning-I'll post this blog and read
my emails. Later on I will replace this older photo
with a new one.
And here's the photo from a few minutes ago.
We really do have several steps down from our front porch-but
you wouldn't know that today!

Whew-there'll be some serious snowblowing today!

We had a little bit of snow late yesterday....

Take two....

After reading Eric Alder's comment on Photo #55, I went back

outside and took another photo of the snowy chair. I agree

that the pure white snow is more appealing to me than the

early morning blue tinged snow.

Thanks Eric!

Surprise!

Well...not that much of a surprise as the

weather folks have been telling us for a few

days to expect these snow flakes. It's fun to

wake up to a bluish white world.

I can hear the kids now, "Snow Day!"

Snow Day!

I looked out the window yesterday and

SURPRISE! It was snowing. But only for a bit.

After awhile the sun came out and that was that.

Pretty to look at and no shoveling involved.

The toad named Bufo, is a copper sculpture done by a good

friend of ours Keith Jellum. You can see more
