Snow Day

The plummeting snow, starting  Sunday afternoon and continuing through the late evening hours, accumulated to approximately one half foot on our farm.

 Waking up to our first real winter wonderland of the season, I quickly took a look out from one window, then moved onto the next window for a different view.  Each and every vignette was beautiful.

The winter sun created plenty of deep, dark shadows among the blinding, white snow pack adding to the overall depth of each scene.

The birds left millions of tiny foot prints under the feeder, which now stood near empty after a feeding frenzy during the dusk of the prior day.

Cattle and sheep crisscrossed the pastures, leaving a network of tracks, as the flerd searched for easy grazing.

Jake moved from spot to spot in the soft snow making, not snow angels, but snow puppies.

A snow-capped solar, garden light looked like a gnome complete with pointed hat - pure white, of course.

Dog, cat, rabbit, and mice tracks traversed the yard.  Glenn said that as he walked to the barn, he followed  rabbit tracks and mice tracks.  Then , the tracks abruptly stopped at a place where he saw wing sketches  on the surface of the soft , snow cover.  I am guessing that some kind of bird had a tasty meal.  Dogs and cats are all accountable.

The pond flaunted its dreamy blue color,  surrounded by the clean, white snow.

 Every view was spectacular. 

But, I had to look quickly …the outside temperature was warming fast and the views were melting away into memories.
