Yesterday we had a wee melt. Complete with dashes of sunshine here and there, off and on!
It was lovely. Boomer and I walked in slush, and mud, and even on some dry spots.
Later that afternoon, Terry, Boomer and I took a four-wheeler ride to the rocky hill. The chilled air knifing back in a shower of tiny bits of snow from the wheels of Terry’s four-wheeler, causing Boomer to snuggle up tight against me. I found this comforting-his warm body smashed against my back.
Our farm and the neighboring farms were a winter painting, cows dotting the landscape far and away. As we sat there, the sun hanging low in the sky, the silence was broken by a murder of crows, settling down on the farm, actually on the corn still standing in the fields, for their supper.
Then over night the air cooled allowing us to wake up to a
Winter wonderland. It was lovely. A vision of frost draping everything in it’s path. Life in the middle of a frozen cloud.
It’s all gone now…warmed up and melted away. A winter fairy-land.
Your friend, in January, on a farm, on the western side of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. 🙂

Those pictures are STUNNING! Just beautiful, Linda. I love it when my doggy snuggles too. The older I get, the more I love it.

Good job – keeping your mama toasty on the 4wheeler ride. Doggie heat works better than the warmest blanket!

I’ve just moved to a part of Australia where they experience genuine winters. Let’s see how I cope, eh?

Fairies are awfully fleeting, their world momentary, but oh how deeply they impact our minds and souls if we’re lucky enough to catch a glimpse – beautiful photos Linda

We need some sort of warm up…rather too cold here.

Frosty mornings are the most special — because they are impossible to completely capture and they are usually fleeting. Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos!

We call that a hoar frost here in the UK. We get it so rarely but it is always beautiful.

That’s what we call it here also. The term brought over from England, I’m sure.
