Monday was a beautiful winter day here. I love to see a rosy colored sunrise. You don't have to get up early to see this here. It takes some time before the sun comes up above the distant ridge. Looking over the garden makes it easy to appreciate the clean cool stillness of new snow.
Tuesday morning the world outside was covered with a coating of ice. The sun reflected off of every surface. Single blades of grass sticking up in the surface of the lawn glinted with sunlight. It was pretty, but made stepping out the door an adventure. The potential for interesting ice pictures was everywhere, but for me venturing out on that kind of slippery surface with the camera at this point is just stupid. As it was we needed to go out, so Ed sanded the ramp and we both made it to the car without incident. Roads that were quite awful in the morning were much better for the trip home. Through the day the ice disappeared from many places. Too bad our driveway was not one of those.
Today warmer temperatures have brought rain. The ice and snow are disappearing fast. Green grass and uncovered plants make a walk in the garden seem tempting, but the rain is quite heavy at times and cold! It is a fine day to start in on the foot deep stack of garden catalogs that have arrived so far. We will see what tomorrow brings!
