A Little Frosting
Saturday morning we woke to a light blanket of snow. The kind that makes things look pretty and then goes away (the best kind, really, if you must drive and work in cold weather).
Obligatory snow pictures:

The Gully Washer
Last week, Thursday I think it was, we had a big rain. We received 2.5 inches overnight.
The driveway wash was the worst I believe I'd ever seen. Since our driveway is about 1/4 of a mile long, this covers a lot of ground. The water must have been rolling fast down the hill that night.

| Not so bad, eh? |
 |
| But wait. All of that gravel is supposed to be in the driveway, not the yard. |
 |
| Oh dear. More gravel in the yard. |
 |
| Look at those nice deep grooves that rattle a car. |
 |
| This is the lower end of the driveway. Suddenly we have a new ditch! |
 |
| That gravel under the fence belongs in our driveway. |
 |
| Another new ditch. |
 |
| Drop a wheel over that and I might be stuck! |
 |
| Fortunately we have the equipment to fix this with. Many other folks aren't so lucky. |

A Little Winter Weather
Yesterday we had a bit of ice/snow/sleet mix, which covered the ground and left ice on the trees. The winds picked up yesterday afternoon and sang to me all night long, sounding a bit like a mountain lion with its tail caught in a trap as the gusts rounded the corners of the house.
This morning when I rose around 7:30 a.m. it was 12 degrees outside with a wind chill of about -5 or thereabouts, depending on how one measures such things.
Coming after a February that was delightfully too warm, this has been an adjustment. I hope the fruit trees/grape vines and other food sources survive.
I shot these photos early yesterday morning with that little Nikon Coolpix 3200S, which I paid $60 for during a Black Friday deal a few years ago. It has been the best $60 I think I ever spent. To be such a throw-away camera I have taken some very decent photos with it.

| Will the blooms on my forsythia return, I wonder? |
