The peaceful low flow of this waterfall in the fall doesn’t have the roar of the springtime run off. There was very little dripping from the snow melting in temperatures just barely above freezing today since not a spring melt.

The start of the new year didn’t look very different than the end of the last year, even if we might have better sight in 2020, but I didn’t need sight to feel that winter is still here just like yesterday.

It may be the end of the year, but is not the end of winter as there are several more snowy months coming yet. I hope everyone had a good 2019.
The End

The trees today were weighted down with snow and they looked weary of winter and there was still more hours of snowfall coming.

With the rain melting some of the snow and creating a lot of fog today, I was imagining a nice walk through a field of summer flowers.

Falling rain when the ground temperature is below freezing is never a good combination as the rain froze on the roads and other surfaces like tree limbs.
An Icy Day

The sun did not appear in the afternoon like the weather forecasters predicted and the clouds remained thick so you couldn’t see through to the sun, like not being able to see through this water.

While many people may have been in stores today exchanging gifts, I make a point to avoid stores during crowded days and I prefer a nature walk so it is too bad that the weather wasn’t warmer for a hike to less traveled waterfall, like this narrow one that twists and drops seventy feet.

It was a white Christmas but at least above freezing for most of the day so not as cold for outdoor activities and travel.
Merry Christmas

Growing up on the farm as a kid, sometimes we would cut our own Christmas that needed thinning from our windbreak, and besides being a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, they were magical too. Since every year they magically grew several feet taller as soon they passed through the porch door. If you waited to cut a tree here today, at least the snow would have been melted off it as instead of covered in snow earlier in the month.
O Christmas Tree
