Our mailbox is listing a bit with all the snow plowing, but it is in better shape than the ones which belong to our closest neighbor.

All together now, Awww…..

I found this wonderful photo of Sunset at the Garden on flickr this morning.

Jack pointed out the intriguing way the snow preserves the hole in the top of the table.

I took this photo while wearing my fleece robe: it was so still I barely noticed how cold it was. Can you find the moon?

Jack wanted me to take a photo of the shadows on the snow, because it was too much trouble to do so himself. So I did.

Today’s exercise was excavating enough room so that I could put out the garbage in its normal place. I amended my ambitious plan to clear the whole area after finding it was filled with frozen snow rubble. Fortunately, I discovered the garden fork worked better than the shovel to free the icy hard pack.

I rarely walk the road to the top of the hill to the north of our house, because I prefer to take the dirt trail so the dogs can walk with me. However, the dirt trail looks too treacherous and I needed a short walk. It felt good to get some exercise doing something besides shoveling snow. This photo was taken this morning from the hill behind our house. Our house and two outbuildings are scattered in the center.

For those twisted souls who want to see more snow, I’ve put up Snow Snafu - a photoset on Flickr. For now, we are apparently dug out. There is a forecast of more snow by Friday.
