This is of my backyard on Thursday. These branches were hanging almost to the ground when normally we couldn’t touch them with a twenty foot ladder. We went from ice that brought down limbs all over our yard to snow…level 3 which means stay at home or get a ticket. On the way to work on Thursday, I wanted to go back home, get my camera and take pictures all morning. The ice made the world beautiful. And dangerous. We still have some limbs hanging by a thread and waiting to fall. The 29 huge trees I was so proud of when moving here have proven to be a challenge.
This was taken right outside the side door, off the Florida room which now belongs to the dogs. I took it Saturday as the sun was going down. It’s a strange feeling to not be able to leave your house. And I didn’t even get my writing done. We sat in the familyroom with a fire crackling in the fireplace and watched it continue to snow on Saturday. By Sunday the worst was done and we came out to play…not drive. My first time in the car will be this morning as I go to work. We’re still at level 1, so it will be interesting. The road we live on hasn’t been cleared, but we’re near the end.
Paige was contemplating making a snow angel, but was afraid she’d be buried. The weather just came on TV, and the Early Show is in Scottsdale, saying the temperatures will reach 82 degrees today. At times like this, it’s tough not to regret leaving.
I couldn’t resist adding this one…we made this snowman today, Tuesday and the snow is melting fast.
