The Second Storm

Sunrise snow

Valentine’s Day.

Three inches of fresh snow, coating everything in sight.

Through the Trellis

While Hubby made a quick pass with the plow, and Angel got herself ready for school (Party Day!) I got a few quick shots…

Japanese Maple

Light and fluffy stuff. The slightest puff of breeze knocks it to the ground…

Snow and Shadow

By noon, it was gone., and we were left with just the cement-hard remnants of the Blizzard. That’s going to be here a while…

It didn’t stop the Delivery Man from bringing me some color:

Valentine Roses

Thanks, Honey! They’re beautiful!

  1. I’m sure your beautiful roses were much appreciated. It is nice to have a little color in our life this time of the year.

    • I’ve told him for years that he doesn’t need to get me flowers – I’m not that big a fan of the holiday – but it makes him happy to do it, so why complain? :)
      They DO brighten up a grey, cold day, though!

    I love when the new little sugar coating covers up the gray, sooty frozen slush. My yard in central Mass looks just the sam way this morning! Lovely photos….

  3. Remember a few months ago when you were wondering where the snow was?

    Aw, isn’t that sweet! Glad to read you had such a special day, Marie.
    It won’t be long now and this Winter’s snow will be but a memory. Just need to hang on for a bit more. :)
