Snow Day!

It snowed all day yesterday, finishing around 2:00 this morning.  Everything outside is all bright and sparkly.

After I shoveled the porch and front steps, I grabbed my camera and went to see if I could capture some nice snowy images.


From the what I can see on top of the brick pillars at the end of the driveway, we probably got about 8 inches or more.  The wind was blowing the snow into drifts, so it's tough to find somewhere in the yard to get an accurate measurement.




The plow came and did a pass at clearing the road at about mid morning.  There's been plenty of SUV traffic on this snow-packed surface.




Doesn't this fence post look like you should draw eyes on it and tie a bow around it's 'neck'?




These are some of the pots of roses that I still have to plant.  I think they look like a bunch of snowcones.




The snow blower makes quick work of clearing our driveway.




Everything in the greenhouse is warm and toasty.

Here's the view past the Arcade, toward the Barn.




I wasn't the only creature making tracks in the snow.




All of the roses in the rose field, and elsewhere in the garden, are safely tucked under their blanket of snow.
