Winter is here

Winter is definitely here. The weatherman predicts that we will have had over 3 feet of snow after Thursday. We shall see. In any case, it has been snowing a lot, and the sun has been shining a little, both lending themselves to making some pretty winter patterns.

Lumps on the veggie containers on the deck:

That hanging branch on the ash tree has been up there for three years!

The neighbor’s house and trees make shady patterns on the snow:

A lone hummingbird’s nest hangs on for dear life at the top of the tree:

The Norway spruce wears a thick snow dressing:

And the white birch looks pretty against the blue sky:

Now that the Winter Solstice has passed, the sun is getting a bit stronger and giving us more light during the daytime. I’m not tired of the snow yet and it is still pretty! All is good.
