Another Four Lettered Word...

It was inevitable, we knew it was coming besides it's almost the second week of December. The weathermen didn't lie and we actually got that dreaded 4 letter word - SNOW.  I have to admit that if you have to get snow, it is terrific to get it on a day when you really don't have to rush anywhere.  You can actually just enjoy its beauty and not have to deal with traffic and or traveling.  That first real snowfall really is breathtakingly beautiful, especially here in the End of the Rainbow Valley.

It  was snowing Sunday when I awoke and it continued snowing all day changing from a  sugar powder sprinkling to clumps of white stuff falling from the heavens transforming the scenery.

The frenzied birds congregated at the feeders as their ground food supply become snow covered. They waited in nearby trees to have their turn at the numerous feeders. We must have had a couple dozen at a time at our kitchen window.  Their  racket interrupted the otherwise winter quiet as they all stayed to break open their sunflower seeds not wanting to drop  their food supply. There was an incessant tap, tap, tapping until dark...

Well, the snowfall did exceed the predicted four inches... and I can't lie, sometimes the passing thought occurs as to if we're going to be able to get out...

SO Let me tell you that there's nothing better than seeing the flashing lights of our snow plough guy's truck as it makes it way up to the house.  Those lights signal 'freedom' that if we had to leave, we could. Natureman's still ruminating about getting a tractor with a plough... If he does, I sure hope he'll attach some of those flashing lights...
