and at last, I have the pictures I was snapping last Thursday! The first 2 are snaps of our blizzard, taken through the window. The orange machine is our villages biggest snow plow. You can see it has the 'tank' style trac wheels instead of tires. Good thing too! We got about 14" of fresh snow that day.
I snapped these from the window by the computer and thought I'd go out to the patio for another one. Somehow I managed to stop off in the sewing room and lay the camera on the ironing board. Competely forgot about going outside and at some point laid fabric on top of the camera....LOL. Found it yesterday when I was cleaning and straightening up for the inspection.
These last 3 pictures I snapped outside today while getting the mail. We are having a spring thaw...*VBS* We have some incredibly large snow banks that need to melt, but with temps in the 40's it won't take too long. The first pic is of the view I usually snap for you..looking south. Second one is my front yard, taken from the street, looking north.
Last one is of my house taken from out by the mail box. Lots of snow! There are blooming apricot trees over at Libby's,
http://simplylibby.blogspot.com/ and daffodils at Linda J's http://catsnqlts2.blogspot.com/ so far that's it for spring blossoms. I'm sure more of you have posted them also if you have them. We are about a month from even the tinest flower I think. Altho tulips may coming up next to south facing wall if sheltered, but will surely die if we have freezing rain.

Hey - We're paying our dues for the fantastic Autumns we have....And there's something to be said for the sound of that snow plow running down the road... kinda like 'Life does go on'....A time change and a change of season are on the way--- we just have to keep the faith.....

Yeah! You found your camera! We are finally warming up after several days are sever wind chills. I love tulips, will you send me a picture when the bloom?
I love your essay on color. I love color. I refuse to have white walls in my house, but will allow white trim because then the trime pops.
You said it all so perfectly.
Thanks for stopping my blog. I appreciate the virtual hugs.
Great pictures - that is a LOT of snow! So glad you found your camera. I'm so eager to see pictures of what you are working on these days. I always love what you do.
Hurray for unearthing your camera!
Isn't it amazing what a little bit of sunshine will do! We look much the same here.
You put my grey Oregon day totally in perspective! We have daffodils and crocuses to be thankful for. And about losing your camera, then finding it again...you were contagious! Glad that we both found them again!
Hi, I am catching up after being offline and I had to race to find why you were having an inspection, were you moving?? Anyway, I've found it was just the annual and so pleased it wasn't me having to hide my stuff. Love your year of quilts, how fantastic that your "m " girl wore hers out, isn't that somewhere close to the aim, and I'm sure making the college one was no chore at all! See you soon, Tracey ps so pleased you liked the little cat panels!
Spring will be at your house before you know it - I sure love the look of all that snow piled up . . . serene.
Brrr, Finn, that's way too chilly looking for me!
I think you need some crocus bulbs in your window box - they'd come up early spring for you. :)
