Shots from around the place the day after the Big Storm of 2013:
Ooops this was last night, after my last trip out (obsessively) to check on the chickens AGAIN. See the light next door? Troy had just told me he would put the blade on his tractor and plow our drive... I was running in to tell Keith.
Ridiculous, isn't it? Biggify it and you will see that it's not all starlings... about half of them are red-winged blackbirds... who are as bewildered as everything else.
It IS pretty.
And we were blessed by God to get our drive plowed, as we have had to dig it out many times in past years. Abby couldn't wait to run up the drive, she can't get into the yard right now, the snow is too high.
Ranger appreciated it, too, as it is too much for his poor behind legs.
Troy's tractor would not start, but he checked with a friend who came over at 7:30 this morning and did it for 50.00, the best 50.00 we spent this month!
Dinner tonight, homemade tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwich for Keith, bisque for me. I can't wait.
But here's someone whose take on the snow is totally different and one of delight!
Here's grandson Jace and his dog Rocky, playing in the snow yesterday! He doesn't remember snow from last year, when he was just a few months old, so this is a big adventure! It was so cute to see him in his Carhartts and his trapper cap, all bundled up, enjoying the snow!
That's it for today from Calamity Acres!
You know...the older we get, the less we like snow, because of the extra work. However...it sure is beautiful, before it gets all tracked up, isn't it? Your grandson sure looks happy!
ReplyDeleteSorry! I love snow! Everytime I see it, I want to get into it!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable! I love how he's dressed. Stylin'!
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't lose power? When we saw the weather report I hoped you all would be okay. And that snow is good after the drought, isn't it? Your tomato bisque looks like it will warm you all up! Y'all keep warm and safe.
ReplyDeleteHe's a real cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some winter. Is this the time you put on the red shoes, click the heels and depart for warmer climates? :-} Only 26 days till spring!
ReplyDeleteEvening, so much snow, looks like around here.......Yum yum, looks so good, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know those are not all starlings... I personally don't know why the red-winged blackbirds hang out with such a crowd. We haven't had much in the way of snow this winter.--A little bit of ice a couple of days ago (thankfully we didn't lose power). Your grandson looks like he enjoyed his "snow day"!
ReplyDeleteand now the storm makes it way to maine... glad the two feet we got a couple weekends ago has settled and even muelted some... guess it makes room for the snow that "you are sending our way"... :)
ReplyDeleteKen dug out our drive last night and we got
ReplyDeleteout and about today since both of us were off.
You've got a cutie pie there!
M :)
Oh yes, those little ones always love the snow. It is beautiful to look at but not to deal with at all. You have been in my thoughts as I listened to reports of the storm. Great that you got that driveway plowed. That was a good investment!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that the red winged blackbirds are making their way north!
ReplyDeleteThere is beauty and fun in snow. It's just the older I get, the harder I have to look for it.
ReplyDeleteTiny Carharts - how cute : ) Love grilled cheese and tomato soup in the winter!
ReplyDeleteLittle Jace is adorable! Homemade tomato bisque soup...YUM, YUM! Perfect for a chilly winter day! :)
ReplyDeleteI could use some of that tomato bisque....it looks divine.
