A Gift of Winter


 
This is what I woke up to this February morning - an absolute, pristine winter wonderland in my corner of the world.  It didn't last too long but I enjoyed it.  Days like today make winter a gift in itself.


 
That's my hen house to the left of the swing set in the backyard.  It's a quiet place to hang out, get away from the kids, look up at the stars and contemplate life.  This is where I go to clear my head and, inadvertently, my sinuses too -  when it's been raining out.  Can we say - smelly hen yard?  Not the first sign of Spring that I look forward to each year.







Looking out at my favorite maple tree, the driveway and lovely rail fence that was rebuilt 1.5 years ago, thanks to Norm.  Gees, looks like someone's going to have to get the shovel out!
