We have had quite a storm, or maybe I should say, storms recently. Tuesday evening it snowed and iced all night dumping around 8 inches. Wed it precipitated all day long, sometimes rainy sleet, sometimes snow...but all day into the night. THIS morning lots more snow with a coating of Ice on top and underneath. My drive way looked like a skating pond after it was plowed. When I finished up work I realized that I had to go to the post office, BOY was I dragging my feet! We actually live in Hebron NY, but it has no post office so we have a Salem address. We end up being between the Argyle post office and the Salem one with Argyle being a little closer,any how I didn't feel like putting on the boots, and the hats and gloves and the coats.....(getting the whiny picture?) I ran out to start the car and brush off yet another coating of the white stuff, then came back in to collect the packages to go. Driving along the road I began to see what a beautiful day it was. The trees and bushes where coated in ice looking like delicate glass, on the way back the sun was setting casting a pink glow on the icy trees, it was so beautiful I found my self grinning, glad to be outside in such awesome beauty and enjoying my very own pink valentine view from mother nature!
Though the snow and ice has been a bit rough working outside, with all the horses and crazy things this kind of weather does to the water buckets,and frozen gate latches and such....my ride to the PO reminded me what a beautiful world we live in :)
many blessings
