Falling snow might be pretty to some people, but not when you know you will be out shoveling that snow whenever it stops in very cold temperatures.
Falling Snow
St. Patty’s Day must have sucked all the green up yesterday and didn’t leave any left for today as it was a white morning with the new snowfall overnight. And the robins have been snowed more than the three times needed for spring to come so nature needs a counting lesson as I want green and not white.
March Snow
The sunset will be later this evening due to the daylight saving time change, although the rain probably will prevent seeing one this evening, but the time change is another reminder that spring is coming and that makes it easier to take picture outside without fingers and camera freezing up!
Later Sunset
Although the wind chill this morning is below freezing, yesterday was abnormally warm so I ventured outside in the afternoon. After watching the bald eagle circling overhead and watching the three geese resting on the edge of my pond, I set out to clean the birdhouses. And while I didn’t have to stand in any snow to clean the houses, I did have to skirt around some snow drifts and you would feel the air temperature change when next to the drifts.
Normally I have to evict some rodents from the houses and at times it is hard to get them to leave, so this time I took my camera to take pictures of the field mice and didn’t find any little four-legged critters in the houses. So halfway on my trek of cleaning the houses, I left my camera behind so of course I did eventually found a pair of ‘cute’ looking mice in one house but probably good I didn’t have my camera then as the deer had rutted up the path so much that in one spot I sank and splashed mud all over me and my clothes.
So after throwing my clothes in the wash and taking a shower, I ate some ice cream on the porch barefoot without a coat or sweatshirt on – something that doesn’t have very often in early March!
Time for Spring Cleaning
There was sun dogs in the sky last evening but by the time I got my camera, the mini rainbows of the sun dogs had faded away as the thicker clouds moved in. And those thicker clouds this morning are dropping huge snowflakes again but at least there was a pretty sunset last evening.
