Winter Has Set In


After our third storm of the week
Rusty Pup Kayla....


....and Rusty up Shandy and me
decided to take a walk


This was all we could find of the stream.
No more islands to be found
just slithers of clear water every now and then.


We found baby Christmas trees awaiting their turn to
be decorated at Christmas.


We found snow covered rocks protecting the pond.


We found grassy remnants of warmer weather


and we found the scratchy remnants of Black Eyed Susans
breaking through a pristine covering of snow.

My goodness me, January seems to have turned out to be
a month of left brain work.
A month of computer work
A month of accuracy at the sewing machine.
Not my comfort zone.
But hopefully I can get back to stitching now.

    Lovely pictures -- you even captured how cold your feet must have been as you walked through the drifts. You've captured winter in its most beautiful state. Earlier this month I was, like you, moving through sewing challenges, paperwork for year end and a very early spring cleaning burst. Whew glad that's all over *smile*!

    Probably sounds silly, but I would love to swap for our heat.

    Penny, you have shared the most beautiful photos, and this is probably one of the joys of every post.Your innate skill at highlighting even the most often overlooked parts of the walks we love... the small and oh' so important art works created by Mother Nature,and just for the private enjoyment of those who make the "looking" part of their joy! Thank you for this - made my day!

    Brrrr - lovely to look at, but I'd sooner be on the inside looking out.
