Snowstorm Maya

February 13, 2019

Yesterday would have been a good day for me to catch up on some work, but instead I spent the day lounging around, watching snowstorm Maya do her thing. Although I know the snowstorm has caused a lot of stress (and lots of car accidents), I can’t help but love the way Mother Earth looks today as I gaze out my office window. I love the look of the white fluffy snow.

You’re probably sick of seeing photos of snow, but I thought I would share just a couple with you today.

Looking out into the backyard on Tuesday, I caught the glimpse of a deer wondering through.
The Old Mother Bur Oak is dressed in winter lace this Wednesday morning.
The gardens look like giant cakes with way too much frosting.

One last tidbit. Did you know there was a website devoted just to snowflakes? It’s fantastic Snowflakes.com

Note: To enlarge the photos, click on the photo and when it comes up, click again.

    What are the four legged structures? Plant sinks? I just got some more car undercoating to refurbish mine.

      Hi! Cindy — they are what we call raised beds. See photo in Labor Day 2018 post. They’re made out of wood, but they do look a bit like sinks.
