Run up to Christmas

· 2 Comments ·

My last outing with the camera was on Sunday and I had a post for Brian’s Last on the Card challenge all prepared, and then late last night, this happened:

If you can’t see it: it started to snow. Not all that common for our area, certainly very seldom so timely, ready for 1 December.

Ride or treat?

Whether you are eager to join this horse’s anticipation of meeting a friend or just anticipating winter – expect some fun.

Considering the next week, I rather hope for the best, yet expect the worst. I’d rather not think of it much.

A flashback (we had no significant fall of snow this year).  Because snow always comes from the top and lands on the top and covers the top (first).

This is my fourth top square for Becky’s April Square Challenge.

And for the cute factor: this is from last year when we thought we had a big cat but now we know he was only a kitten.

Winter windows

Once upon a time when we still had winters and we still lived directly under the roof we would wake up one morning and we almost couldn’t see the sky anymore.

Once we removed some of the snow we could peek out.

Outside it looked like this:

Which meant other windows had to be taken care of.

Sob, heavy world 
Sob as you spin, 
Mantled in mist 
Remote from the happy.

Nancy is asking: “Have you ever walked pass an opening in a wall or barrier and suddenly an amazing view opened up?” for A Photo a Week.   I woke up to unexpectedly closed windows in our garret flat some years ago.  But we persevered and we managed to free them partly from ice and snow and were greeted with this:
