My husband thinks I have been slacking because this blog hasn't seen much action. First, I have been pretty busy with the church blog
http://discoverstmark.blogspot.com/ . Although I haven't written all of this during Lent I have typed and edited all of it. And then there was this blog
http://longmorgan.blogspot.com/ which I have also been working on.
"Plus," I said, "not much has happened." I should have bitten my words. Saturday, we went to church---temperature in the 50's, but we did not believe the forecast of 3-8" of snow for Palm Sunday. We were right and wrong. It was officially 12.5" unofficially about 10" at our house. And, we didn't even get the "thunder snow" some areas got. Mind you, it started snowing while in the 40's and barely got below freezing so this is a h-e-a-v-y snow great for building snowmen, forts! The picture of my front door decorations and daffodils (before I rescued them) were from Sunday. The rest of these photos are from Monday after about 12 hours of snow.
My strategy of putting the van in the driveway to keep one part of the driveway clear was working until I noticed the pine tree was drooped so far over from the weight that it was resting on the van---even in the middle of the driveway. Here is the tree below on Monday.
But, it did make a great tent that I would have loved playing under as a kid. (I often made "houses" under mature hydrangea and spirea shrubs when we lived in the city)
That's all the front yard---now to the back yard. ..
This photo is out a window and I think that is the green. This is my dogwood tree with branches also on the ground---looking East to the Emry's.
Watching the birds at the feeders makes all of this very entertaining. My favorite (other than my google-eyed cardinal which I couldn't get a good shot of) was this robin. I don't think I've ever seen one so ruffled and aggravated! He sat there stunned for about 5 minutes thinking, "March 25 should be Spring. How am I going to dig through all of this to find worms!"
