We had an exceptionally mild November and December, but yesterday we began to catch up with the average snowfall amount. We got about 9-10 inches overnight, and it was truly beautiful this morning. There wasn't as much wind or blowing snow, so although travel wasn't great, it wasn't as treacherous as they predicted. Matt flew out of Rochester just ahead of the storm, and made it to Denver with about an hour's delay in Atlanta. All in all, his travel was a nonevent---thank goodness!
I always have a urge to purge right after the holidays, so I spent the day sorting through a very large pile of articles that has accumulated over the fall. Now I'm trying to decide how to file the ones I do want to keep---and a system for knowing how to find them. Anyone have a systemt that works for them? I'd love to hear about it.
The only time I ventured out was to take a few photos and to put the cards I made into the mail box. Our birdfeeders got very attractive caps in the snow.
This was the front walk after Tracy's first pass with the snowblower.
I liked the patterns the snow made on our glider.
But my favorite was the railings on the front porch. The pattern reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright designs.
And for fun, I hung an ornament in our Korean Pear tree. I think I could have used a narrower aperture, but I like the red against the white.
I finally have photographed all the pages I've completed of the Christmas Journal, so I'll be back soon with the first of them. Still have three days left to do.
