Snow Pumpkin

Stocking Cap

Here is a bucky I corpsed a long time ago. He's pretty bad looking and I'm kind of embarrassed to post it but thought this was kind of a neat pic with the snow. Better to hang him from a tree than keep taking up space in my shed. I don't care about what happens to him so I decided to just leave him up through the winter.

This is what my garden scarecrow looks like after our first snow storm this winter.

Snow Day

This was taken in our backyard today. Thanks to Old Man Winter, we had a blizzard hit us with over a foot of snow. It was a whopper. Most of the area was shut down in a state of emergency. It's just as well as I had no place I had to get to today anyway. I can't remember the last time we had a blizzard let alone this much snow fall in one storm. It's kind of neat when you don't have to go somewhere and instead you can say "let it snow".
Ames and I spent a good part of the day shoveling, snowblowing and using muscles we had forgotten about since last winter. Ugh! Now we are resting and warming up by sipping some hot cocoa. Ahhh.....

My father called me this morning not in the best of moods. He travels within a 60 mile radius for his job. Last night he was working in a city not too far from us when the storm hit. Most of the roads were shut down so he ended up being stranded there for the night. I told him better there than in a ditch or worse.
