Let it snow!!

May as well let it snow as it will do it anyway. We have a foot of the white stuff right now. When the sun comes out it is beautiful. But loud when it slides off the roof. Some photos from the farm this morning...

This was taken from my upstairs office window

This is also from the office window, as the snow slides off our metal roof

The lawn llama is covered in snow. That's a first.

Those white lumps are stacks of firewood not yet brought to the woodshed.

Our farm with Spirit Mountain in the background

Our seasonal pond... not entirely covered with ice yet.

Agency Creek that flows through our farm

The snow about to come off the greenhouse roof.

Yet another photo from upstairs window. When that ledge of snow drops, it makes a tremendous loud sound as it hits the greenhouse roof below.

Ah, but when winter comes, can spring be far behind?

The Optimist doesn't think so. Johnny built this Snow Person Optimist in a lawn chair. I decorated his hat with tulips. The Optimist knows how to enjoy winter while looking forward to spring. So may we all!
