I know I post photos like this every year, but every year when I wake up to a morning like this I am in awe. We’ve had snow for weeks now, but this is the first morning like this, with perfect winter light and thick snow clinging to the trees and weighing down the branches . . . and if only you could hear the complete, peaceful silence.
On the practical side, what made the morning really perfect was a call from our tractor salesman first thing, telling us he would be here tomorrow morning with the snow-blower attachment we’ve been waiting for since the snow started falling weeks ago . I think we’re going to need it this year and the hours of time saved will be appreciated and savored with each snowfall. It will, of course, disturb this perfect silence (slightly, Kermit the Green Tractor purrs like a kitten). . . but far more briefly than our current multi-hour blade/bucket snow clearing arrangements . . . yes, the trials of northern living.
WOW! i wish i were there!!!!!! amazing.
Beautiful pictures and of course I am so happy for you and your new attachment, understanding as I am of the trials of clearing MOUNTAINS of snow with a little blade, lol! Enjoy………..
Ah yes, snow silence!! Very special. Can I come and bring my snowshoes?? :-)
Very beautiful and I never get tired of it either. It is truly awe inspiring! I’ve been in Van for a week now and can’t wait to see if snow awaits when I get home.
The pictures are beautiful but I gotta say, I don’t miss the snow and the cold at all. Even if it is really pretty to look at.
The words of a beleaguered Albertan snow refugee, Laurie. I understand.
Ohhhhh … just gorgeous!
(Purring kittenish noises are allowed …) ;)
Wow! What stunningly beautiful photos, Fireweed. Marvelous and awe-inspiring.
