After The Snow, A Perfect Day

This is a really beautiful spot right after the snow. It's so muffled and quiet, so new white and clean. What a perfect day to sit with a nice cup of herb tea and stare outside. But there are other things to do after a snow storm.

The blue cast on the snow shows it was early this morning when Ed headed out to get his garden tractor to begin to clear the driveway. We have a long curvy driveway with quite a drop in elevation down to the road and the river. He was out there all morning. With some effort I managed to get him to come in for lunch. He went right back out and is still pushing snow like a kid with a Tonka toy. Nothing makes him happier than spending the day outside, using his garden tractor is just a bonus. It's a bit of a race now. There is just over an hour of daylight left, and he has not yet reached the road. Oh right, I forgot, he has headlights. Perhaps dinner will be late, but I'm betting he'll reach his goal. Like I said, "What a perfect snowy day!"
