Winter Images.............

The wet snow clung to the fence like frosting creating a great design.

The lilac with it's long branches creates a great line design against the white snow.

 

The burning bush is not burning with red today.

A tall evergreen tree overshadows the smaller pine that is coated with wet snow.

I bought them on a sale many years ago for six bucks. I only wear them a few times a year during the snow clearing season.  Barney thinks that I am going to walk him when I put on these shoes  as I use to walk him in early mornings in deep snow.

 I was met at the door today with a frantic Principal who needed a portable lab fixed.  They didn't have Firefox on the 30 computers and the visiting group of teachers must have it.  The head tech guy followed me into the room a few minutes later and we quickly resolved the situation.  

I am a librarian today and that will be fine for me.  I don't know how to check out books but mostly it is just a study hall monitoring job.

We had pizza and Pepsi last night with my brother Ron and his wife Julie, down in Osceola.  Her father is not well.  We were looking at a couple and listening to a couple that reminded of us ourselves the last year that Della's father was alive.  My brother's father in law is on his last days and the other family members are too busy to help out.  So they don't have any idea when they will return to their Arizona home.  They liked seeing it snow but are getting tired of the cold.

Thanks for stopping by to my post today.

Snow on the roof........

My ceramic houses weather the seasons year round.  The shelf actually was a wooden box that I recycled into a shelf. The houses were made by former students of mine who didn't take them home.  I have a collection of houses like these that I made, one a year, as example works for students to see. I won't put mine outside but I do have them in storage right now. I may have to photograph them some of these days to share.

Natural patterns are created from the stems of the wild rose while in the background you can see man made pattern.  The fence wire keeps Barney and Button inside their backyard area.Barney could jump the kiddie fence but it is his territorial marker.  If the gates gets left open by a meter reader he sometimes comes to the house as he is scared he would get into trouble because of it.  When he escapes he heads to the side door of the house and waits for us to let him inside. His first 7 months of life were out on the loose in a town in Missouri and I don't think he ever wants to revisit his past.

My spirea bush takes on a different look with snow sticking to it's branches. The red in the back is a bright red birdhouse or something that sits on the neighbor's porch.  It really shows up when you enlarge it.

The yew shrub takes on more whiteness and seems a little weighed down from it's ice and snow. This Tuesday we will almost hit above freezing.  We may loose a little of it.  The refrozen snow that is ice on the ground needs to be gone

I will be a computer tech person today. I have taught continually for quite some time so a tech job will be welcomed. Out of over 200 students to receive there computers last week we still have twenty that haven't picked their Mac up from the office.  I will be dealing with those today to see if we can't get them out to the students. Each one needs to be set up and a password installed to personalize the student's computer.
