Title: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by Mosaicwench on Jan 22nd, 2008, 10:03am We had somewhere between 8 inches and a foot of snow last night. I woke up to a winter wonderland and had to share with all of you who don't know the joy of a winter snow storm. All the "ladies" are wearing bouffant hair this morning. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2392/2211562657_804cc0d60d.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2143/2211562525_358dfebed4.jpg?v=0 The trees are wearing skirts . . . http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2343/2212352872_da848f7874.jpg?v=0 And our compost pile looks like a loaf of bread . . . . http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2212352998_ec68b6f4bc.jpg?v=0 Off to rake my roof. Find joy in your day. |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by Mosaicwench on Jan 22nd, 2008, 12:06pm Mummymac got it right - it's the joy of discovery, the sheer beauty of nature reminding one of who's in charge . . . Yes, it can be a PITA to live here but today the beauty outshines the lesser evils of Wisconsin. |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by catlind on Jan 22nd, 2008, 12:14pm There is something incredibly beautiful about waking up to sunrise over a snow hushed landscape. Birds in flight, and a blanket of snow that quiets the sounds of suburbia as the sun begins to cast an orangish glow over the world. I used to get up when Andrea was a newborn and as I would sit in the rocking chair feeding her I would look out the bay window and watch the world emerge from it's quiet blanket of snow. What an awesome outlook on life, find the joy in your day :) Cat |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by barry_sword on Jan 22nd, 2008, 6:24pm We got the same here, but after spending the last hour after work shoveling that salt/sand mixture the plow left me in my driveway took the beauty out of it for me. More coming for the next few days. :P Not a big winter fan!! ;;D |

That happens to me every year, 'cept the date comes earlier and earlier. I figure that by the time I'm ready to retire, it'll be happening around Oct. 1. |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by lashultzwfe on Jan 23rd, 2008, 6:10am Yes, Brew, I think that it would then last until about, say, March or April of every year. I haven't figured out how to paste the previous message into this one and then respond. |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by barry_sword on Jan 23rd, 2008, 6:29am Woke up to another foot of the white stuff this morning. Roads are being closed due to this storm. More squalls and cold temps are on the way. :P |

What! You live in the great white north and you don't own a snowblower/plow? I thought that was a law against that in Canada. Paul ;;D PS Great pics MW |

A snowblower would be nice, but this shoveling by hand keeps us in shape for biking. I say I do not like winter, but deep down, you know, it is not that bad. WRONG!!! I would much rather be in shorts and biking right now. ;;D |

Title: Re: Another day in paradise . . . . Post by sandie99 on Jan 24th, 2008, 8:28am Beautiful snow pictures, thank you for sharing them. :) We got some snow on Sunday night, even more on Monday and right now there's a snowstorm going on all around the country. On a day like this one, I feel gratitude that we do not have a garden, yard nor driveway, so it can snow freely and no snow works for us. I hate the cold much more than the snow, because this city finally looks pretty and the days are so much more lighter. It makes all the difference. :) Sanna |
