Gone Now, No More for a Few Days — Wednesday, January 12, 2022
Gradually the snow is melting
This is the snow from ‘before’
Now there are only patches of snow, laying in shady places
Only very cold weather now
The snow is all gone. Vanished in silence…
Just terribly cold, but warming up in the afternoon.
(The above photos are from the last snow. We are pretty brown now)
Perfect to melt the icicles. 🙂

The Hue of Ordinary Days —- Tuesday, January 11, 2022
We celebrated our daughter, Kimberly’s 48th birthday
We had our long, long lane to the house graveled
I worked on sorting the woodpile
Larry took the girls for a walk
Each day, a wee bit of magic filling and shimmering in the air,
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The Secret Language of Winter —- Monday, January 10, 2022
Sunlight….the medium of the Winter’s secret language
The days growing longer, staying lighter
Make our hearts fill with hope
Golden light creates a shadow of our pick-up as we head to town
The early morning sunlight, lighting TLC Cai-Cai and me as we go about our morning chores.
Winter’s Magic—-Light.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Before the Rain, and Sleet, and Snow Came Again —- Sunday, January 9, 2022
Terry and I took full advantage of a rather nice day the other day
Taking that cascading and overflowing onto the road huge pile of wood
Whittling it down to a small pile (we got tired)
Creating a large pile of split wood.
Thankfully we still have masses and masses of wood to go. We are thinking it will last us this year and maybe next year, also!
Wood is the gift of heat in winter!

Tedious Rhythm of Wind—Thursday, January 6, 2022
The overwrought wind
Lifted and flung everything here and there
Suspending clean, filling up spaces.
Winter:
cold days, chilled fingers, snow, and bitter winds.
Still…each day accomplished brings us closer to
(Not a current photo—just a wish from the past)
Spring.

Exquisite Melt — Well, Sort of a Melt — Wednesday, January 5, 2022
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another. —Albert Einstein
(Taken before the storm)
(Current)
We are warming up ‘some’…the wind has either blown all the snow away,
(Taken before the storm)
(Current)
Or the snow has melted (in places, although not very much. Still way too cold)
(Taken before the snow—we need to split this pile)
( Current photo)
Terry said the ground was just ‘too dry in some places for the snow to hold.
So, in the gradual warm-up to 28-32* (-2.22 c to 0c) around three in the afternoon, to quickly sliding back down to brrrrr levels.
Has places on the ground looking pretty brown.
I think another storm is to come in again. Maybe with more moisture. The mountains really got nice snow levels, over 5 ft in some places! 🙂

There in the Restless Sky — Tuesday, January 4, 2021
As the snarling, jostling, howling wind roared and flung things here and there.
It also started pushing away the very nasty winter snow
Allowing a wee break in the clouds to gift us with
A snow rainbow!
What a buoyant breath of beauty!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
God Washed Us In Wind and Snow — Monday, January3, 2021
The wind chill is terrible
Weaving snow and sleet and frozen stuff into a heavy veil of BRRRR
Although the sun was bright— the sky was covered in clouds and cold—so seeing a bright warm sun was impossible.
The air washed in white, the mist thick and thicker
That muddle of winter storm ringing in the year 2022.
