Digging out.

.

Yesterday? A 20 hour snow storm .

Today? We dig out.

.

.

The first path is to rehang the bird feeders so our fine feathered friends can have a nosh.

.

.

Then a bit of shoveling in front of the garage so the husband can access the snow blower.

.

.

A quick 11 inch measurement…

.

.

And then it’s time to blow.

.

.

Two neighbors offered to plow our driveway but the husband is persnickety when it comes to clearing and prefers to do it himself.

.

.

If you’ve ever lived in northern climates you know the end of the driveway after the plow goes by is always the worst.

.

.

This was a pretty snowfall. Light enough to move easily but damp enough to coat the trees.

I love winter!

.

.

But there are perils to the arithmetic when you have three vehicles and a two bay garage.

There’s a car under there…. somewhere.

.

Random winter scenes.

.

One of these things is not like the others.

.

.

Which makes me wonder what that poor bird did to be ostracized.

.

.

And speaking of wild turkeys, did you know they make excellent snow shovelers?

.

.

We cleared the path but they’re enlarging the dining room.

And speaking of paths…

.

.

Now that the man cave is being readied, more shoveling is required after every storm.

.

.

Welcome… one and all.

.

.

Aside from the wreaths on our home’s windows, this was the extent of my lackluster Christmas decorating this year.

.

.

Snowflakes lights in the Barn Mahal. Battery powered and on a timer.

Ho! Ho! Hum…

.

.

And while Christmas will feel a lot different this year, there are some things to look forward to.
