A couple of light snowfalls in the last two days have coated the trees again with a white dusting of snow and it sounds like they will get additional layers of that white stuff in the coming days.

The deer have been playing in my yard, leaving a lot of trails through the snow so I can tell they came up to look in my basement door (probably trying to get out of the cold). And they weren’t too happy when I went outside one night to look at the moon and disturbed their sleeping. Maybe I should charge them a recreational and camping fee.

This old silo looks cold and other than providing some wind protection, the cement blocks probably didn’t warm up too much in the frigid sunshine today.

The sunshine today was a bit deceiving this afternoon as the temperature dropped instead rising. The cold winter temperatures, like the predicted below zero for tonight, prevent any flower blooming outside. Old seed pods or dry flowers are about that I can find if not buried under the snow. The cattail seed pods have managed to stay above the snow so far this year.

The trees and weeds look naked now that the snow finally blow or melted off of them. The filtered sun revealed the white landscape with the only bright color coming from the blue sky.

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

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.

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
