When we get out of bed earlier these shadows actually stretch most of the length of the whole yard. This shot must have been taken around 8:30 yesterday morning.
I went outside yesterday and just took random shots. Nothing artistic about the views but they are candid camera shots of everyday winter around the house. This shot is one of the beginning a drift that I discovered between the garage and the neighbor’s house.
The tilted shots shows the drift that was formed by the wind between the two buildings. It stretches all the way down the hill. I have never seen this on this property before this year. We had strong winds two snowstorms ago and I am sure that is when it was created.
Looking down the street you can see the white of the winter. The raised flower bed is complete covered with snow. At the bottom of the hill is the city line behind those houses. The coal mining town of Saylorville is behind those houses.
The raised flowerbed is under all of this. The sedum didn’t get trimmed back but the aster that sat next to it was succumbed by all the snow and it pressed down from the weight.
The driveway was full of ice and I shoveled most of it off with the evening sun warming the cement. It looks like I should shovel around the fire hydrant to reveal it some more.
The view down the street from the fire hydrant shows that the city never did get the edge of the streets cleared. We are having another sunny day for most of the day. Freezing rain and snow is to start this evening. That front is coming to us from Flagstafff, Arizona. They were hit with record breaking snows in the mountains of that state and it is moving eastward.
We remain safe and warm on our hill. We are going to venture out today before the weather turns on us. I am anxious for spring to start but our March weather can get to be bad also. It will depend on how the fronts continue to move around. The earth is titling back so spring can not be unscheduled. Thanks for stopping by today. Stay safe and warm where ever you are.

Yes we are expecting that storm also. Then wind on Sunday. Your area will look even more wintery by then! Stay warm:)
it sure looks cold. It is nice to see the blue sky though. I hope you have a safe trip out today. You both must be tired of staying in. I hope the weekend weather will not be as bad as they predict. We've had days and days of heavy rain along with thunder. It's not pleasant to have to travel to appts. in the heavy rain/fog.
Such beauty! I love all of the blues and purples in the snow coloring. Hope the winter weather won't be so harsh this next month.
Have a nice weekend ~ FlowerLady
