Snow memories.

These winter pictures popped up on my Facebook memories recently and I thought it would be fun to share.

.

.

Backyard deer on their path. They don’t stray very far from it once it’s cut.

.

.

That’s my husband shoveling out our neighbor who thought she could make it down her driveway in her car before plowing.

.

.

She couldn’t.

.

.

And here’s my husband a year later pushing his snowblower next door….

.

.

To help dig out her husband’s plow truck.

My husband is a good neighbor to have.

.

.

This is Mr. White, a beautiful boy who is no longer with us. He always wanted to go outside in the winter…

.

.

But didn’t really like it once he got there.

February was a good month for snow.

Are you tired of winter snow photos? If so, you have my permission to depart the pattern now…. because that’s all there is today.

.

.

No adult beverages on the deck last week I’m afraid.

.

.

The above is a rare deer track free shot of the backyard. Taken early in the morning, it didn’t last.

.

.

The wind has been killer this season. The above is a shot of my husband shoveling the driveway when it was 6 degrees with 53 mph gusts.

Yours truly stayed inside.

.

.

Driveway clearing after a storm is the Maine equivalent of the office water cooler. Everyone crawls out of their snowbound homes and chats.

.

.

And if you’re lucky, your neighbor cracks through the ice crusted snow your snowblower won’t with his tractor plow.

Snow days.

More snow makes for pretty pictures I like to share with all my snowless southern and western friends.

.

.

The shrubbery wear hats.

.

.

And the edge of the driveway hump grows.

.

.

Critter paths are clearly visible.

.

.

And we have no idea who was romping on our deck. Those faded middle tracks are my husband’s, but clearly others followed suit.

.

.

A path to the man cave must be shoveled.

It’s where the beer lives…

Let there be snow.

We’ve been having a number of small snow storms lately, 2-3 inches at a time, and thanks to some cold temperatures…

.

.

It finally looks like winter in ye old state of Maine.

I enjoy the change of seasons and while winter can be challenging, it can be beautiful as well.

.

.

Especially when our backyard visitors show up for a nosh.

.

.

We usually see them in the evening, but the other morning these two showed up for breakfast.

.

.

My husband was out front shoveling the driveway…

.

.

And the minute they spotted him?

.

.

Nothing but fluffy white butts.

.

.

It required alcohol…

We woke up yesterday morning to snow.

.

.

The forecast called for 6-8 inches but we barely got 4.

.

,

Maine winters aren’t what they used to be, but the birds still need to be fed.

.

.

There really wasn’t enough white stuff to blow, but men do love their noisy toys.

After the chores were done, we headed out to the man cave for a game.

.

.

And even with horrible letters like these, I was victorious.

By late morning?

It was time to start drinking.

.

.

And after listening to that inaugural speech?

.

.

I might keep drinking until 2029.

Mooning… it’s always popular.

I’m usually up early in the morning and often see the moon go down.

.

.

It’s beautiful in the winter….

.

.

Bouncing off the white snow, against a blue sky.

.

.

So I brave the cold and trot out front in my pajamas for a few nice photos.

To find I’m not the only one with that idea.

.

.

We have large open spaces around our property and people often stop for Kodak moment.

.

.

Good thing he was facing the other way. No one needs a picture of me at 5:00am wearing penguin pj’s.

Ah, spring.

While most of you are enjoying tulips, daffodils and other cheerful harbingers of warm weather…in Maine things look a little different.

.

.

We had a good old fashioned N’or Easter on Thursday.

.

.

With high winds and wet heavy snow.

.

.

It was the pretty kind that sticks to bushes and makes everything feel like a winter wonderland.

.

.

But it also weighed down trees, snapped branches and left half of our state without power.

.

.

I think we ended up with a foot, though with the wind it’s hard to tell.

.

.

Since the temperatures hovered near freezing it was that awful wet, heavy snow that you have to constantly go out and clear before it becomes too saturated to move.

.

.

Yes… springtime in Maine can be a bit of a challenge.

Neither snow, nor rain…

My husband may not be a mailman, but his version of that age old creed says nothing will come between him and his television. Not even the ripping Maine N’or Easter with 50 mph winds and heavy wet snow that pummeled us yesterday leaving half our state without power.

Thankfully we never lost electricity… but when my spouse lost the satellite signal?

Out he went.

.

.

Digging in the shed for a ladder.

.

.

Trudging across the back lawn…

.

.

To knock the wet snow off the dish.

.

.

Reception restored, he trudged back in the house…

.

.

Only to return an hour later for more sweeping.

.

.

What can I say?

.

.

The man really likes his tv.

🤣
