Yesterday was a beautiful start to spring. Kevin suggested we have a picnic supper and then go to a park to play basketball. We ate at North Higgins Lake State Park. On that side of the lake there is still some ice. A pretty sunset was a fitting end to the warm, pleasant, sunny day we enjoyed.
Not Bad for a Winter Day
Technically it’s still winter but the weather today isn’t wintry at all. It’s warm and sunny with a high in the mid 70s in the forecast. I finally felt like going for a walk after being sick for the last 3 days. My boys have been enjoying riding their bikes and playing basketball. I think that’s even more fun for them than shoveling snow.
Melting Snow and Ice
It’s warm and sunny here today and we have warm days in store for the rest of this week. I saw two ducks on the lake this morning on a patch of open water. Spring seems to be arriving early this year which is fine with me.
Sunset
Yesterday was a foggy, rainy day that ended with a beautiful sunset.
Danger, High Voltage
All of the snow we got last weekend sure is beautiful but it also did some damage. The side road I walk to get to the trail had yellow caution tape across the road with the warning, “danger, high voltage.” There was a downed power line across the road so I had to turn around and take a different route to the trail. Lots of limbs and branches were knocked down by the snow. Several trees were bent over the trail and one young pine had completely fallen. The sun was shining and the sky was blue making for a beautiful morning. Warmer temperatures this week will probably melt much of the snow. We have a cascade of snow on our roof going down to the porch roof likely to slide off as the temperatures climb.
Heavy Snowfall
Looking out my window I see more snow falling. It’s so pretty outside after all the snow that fell last night. It’s a wet, heavy snow so the branches are all drooping and several limbs were broken off from the weight of the snow. Thankfully we still have our power. It’s a good day to stay home where it’s warm and cozy. I wouldn’t want to be on the roads today. When the weatherman was forecasting this storm, he said it could be the biggest one we’ve had this winter. I believe that’s the case.
Enjoying Winter
Winter got off to a late start here and we haven’t had as much snow as some years. This week we got some fresh snow which I was happy to see. The boys did some shoveling in the morning and then in the afternoon we walked to the hill and had fun sledding.
February Morning
It was a pleasant morning for my walk today.
Fresh Snow
Wet, heavy snow fell last night making everything look gorgeous this morning.
