Just a few pictures of the snow we had yesterday.
didn't get much of any tatting done, still setting up farmguy's new computer and getting files transferred, takes longer then you think it should.
First up is a look across the yard from the front door, I used the zoom a bit, there is about the same amount of door below the knob as above it, so you can see how deep it is on the ground as well as on the roof of the green shed
This is looking toward the barn, still using zoom a bit, you can see the snow piled up on the bin roof and in front of the door and clinging to the wall of the barn
Basically the same view, but taken from out in the yard later in the afternoon, you can still see snow that has to be shoveled, but much of it has been removed by tractor and snowblower.
headed past the barn and on the way to the cow yard, they are waiting for some more hay, they eat a lot when the weather is colder and stormy. They have inside shelter, but they prefer to be out as much as possible.
The backside of the house, I thought I would show this as you can still see the snow clinging to the wall of the house. The windows were mostly covered with snow all day yesterday, as it clung to the screens. You can see the bottom corner of the garage in the lower left, that is the same level for the bottom of the house all along it, so you get some idea of the height of the snow piled up against the house.
Just a look at the path to the wood stove, and the snow on top of one of the wood piles.
Pretty in the sun.
Such pretty pictures, however I'm thinking 'better there than here'. Had snow all around us a couple weeks ago and none down where we are, but it will be here again before winter is gone for 2013. Used to be fun to play in. Now I'm older and like to see it instead. Karen in OR via Mont.
ReplyDeleteyou get more rain where you are then snow? have relatives near woodburn i think it is
DeleteI truly miss snow. We've only had about 2" all winter, and none of that lasted very long. Thanks for the pics! At least I can dream!
ReplyDeleteyou will have to head to minnesota soon so you can play in the snow
DeleteMan, those shots are making me shiver!
ReplyDeleteThe views remind me of winters long ago when I was a child. They were so much more...wintery!
Fox : )
it was actually not bad, the temps were in the upper 20's and it was melty when you got down to the bottom.
DeleteI don't miss that kind of snow. Husband and daughter had to pull over in Rothsay, coming home from Grand Forks on Sunday. Everyone home now but holy moly!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they made it home o.k. Rothsay is a tough area for weather, don't know why. They got more snow then we did.
DeleteWhat a ton of snow! Your place looks so pretty under cover like that, though.
ReplyDeleteI keep watching the weather to see how you are doing, if you are going to get any of what we got, it looks like it went more straight north and less east.
DeleteThat is a lot of snow, and lot of work to dig out. But, looks like a very pretty farm!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilee, we like it.
Delete...Ohh how much snow... but sounds as if you are used to it...to come out and overcome it...take care and enjoy...
