When I let Java out last night, I saw something big jump off our bird feeder. I was thinking that either it was the biggest squirrel I’d ever seen or it wasn’t a squirrel. I ran up the steps to the deck with H’s super-duper bright flashlight and found a raccoon on the deck. This…
I spent over an hour clearing the driveway this morning. Came in and while I was pouring myself a cup of coffee, the dang snowplow came by and filled the end of the driveway back up again. Since my truck’s gas tank was empty, and I could start working right away if I just sat…

My chicks are a bit stressed from the long, bumpy ride home. Why is it we never notice how terrible a road is until every bump creates a frantic, harried, shrill chirping? One of the Buff Orpingtons is ESPECIALLY LOUD! I think they wore themselves out and thus, the photos are a bit drab but…

Very zen. Good job Maery!
I love everything about this post! The poem, the photos, the feeling I get when perusing the words and images… Awesome! 🙂

Sue – Ah yes little grasshopper..
Zoma – Thanks. Things get so white and bright with the snow! (Well, and a big aperature…)
Dream Valley – I can feel another post coming on about that, hopefully with a funnier angle.
Beautiful photos. The geese, the dogs, and the world!!!
What gorgeous soft colours – I can feel the silence of the snow.
It’s been pretty colourless where I am so I’ve been looking with a few moments of colour in my pics!
I love it…”the silence of the snow”!!!
The photos tell the story but I just have to wonder what your Coffee Shoppe Dogies are thinkin’? They look intent!
God bless and have a marvelous day.
We too have snow…slicker than snot on a frozen glass doorknob out there!
Oh…I just love coming along with you for your winter walk!
I love the simplicity of your words. They make me want to toss out my to-dos and head outside to wander and wonder.
