The first Jamuary snow fell, and then the next day was clear skies and clear walks and roads (mostly. So I went driving to get the mountain photo over the lake. Here's my porch showing how light that snow was. My post of my photo efforts to show snow on the mountains was Here.

Second snow, Jan 10-11, 2025.
My porch and the walk are covered with an icy mix that isn't too deep, again. The snow fell about4 hours then sleet came after dark. I'm taking photos through the windows today! And nobody else has walked on the sidewalk by 11:30 either.
Yet, even as I write this, I hear outside a motor whirring. Yes, the landscape crew is also contracted to clear walks...and this well bundled young man is blowing snow off the walks. Wheee!
I can see Blue Ridge Rd. is clear (though perhaps icy) and cars are going their normal speed on the interstate which I see through the trees. Soooo, do I want an updated photo of the lake and mountains? Of course. Mmm. Maybe, my smarter self says.
I'll have lunch first. Then decide what to do.
The porch and walk are now blown clear. Mmm, maybe a drive over to the lake...lunch was a roast beef sandwich, and a banana. I'm thinking... Will still have to clear off car, and it's only 28 degrees. I think having sun coming in the windows, and two books started (a hard cover and an audio book) I'm snuggling down inside.
Here's a nice Children's Choir, Bellanova singing, which I found on blogger Love is a Place.
Today's quote:
Grateful hearts truly love. Grateful hands reach out. Grateful eyes see generations. Grateful minds imagine big ideas like justice, peace, and health. Our world needs no less than grateful living. |

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe workers did a great job clearing the snow. It is still very cold here.
The Whitman's art is pretty, I have not seen one like that.
Take care, have a wonderful week ahead.
