Six inches of it, blowing sideways. You can guess we didn’t move much, except to take care of the critters. It does absolutely no good to even try to plow the driveway while it’s snowing (unless feet are forecast!). So, we stuck it out and waited until the wind quit and the snow died down to a few flakes. Then <\/em>we went out, in force, to tackle what it had left us. Will set out to plow the driveway but his faithful companion, Hondo, took one look and sat fast in the driveway. There was no <\/em>way he was going out to “help” plow when the snow was deep. He gets sick to his stomach when the truck lunges through drifts! He stayed in the yard and “helped” me snow-blow the paths to the woodshed, goat barn, up to the house, and down to Whinny, the pony.<\/p>\n

When we were finished, it struck me; even though winter is kind of tough, there is much beauty in it, too. Take, for instance, the delicate snow drift that curled out over the entryway roof. So very pretty! Or the frost, clinging to every single blade of grass or pine needle after a winter’s fog. Then there’s the fluffy, glistening snow on the pine trees along the driveway. We winter folk have that beauty that others only dream of. Even though we’re champing at the bit for spring, we sure don’t want to miss out on winter’s beauty. It beats watching the news and wondering if Russia will invade the Ukraine today\u2026 — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
