More Snow

Shirley and I got a surprise as the grand kids and their parents stopped by. They said the roads were bad.

The kids were sledding down the driveway. They hadn't seen a big snow storm, so they were enjoying the white stuff that is blanketing Carroll County and the mid-Atlantic area. While adults whine about the snow, the young people are happy to play in the snow. As you can see by their faces they had a good time.

We got more help with the driveway as another neighbor, Austin ran his snow blower down the driveway. We really appreciate the help from our neighbors.

We also fed the birds and it didn't take long for them to find the feeders refilled. I guess one of the positive side of the snow is we haven't seen any squirrels trying to get in the feeders.

The Big One

It looks really pretty looking out the window. It's so quiet to be out walking through the snow.

I used to have to clean a sat dish and put out a newspaper short-handed. Not this time. It's nice to be relaxed and watching the flakes fall with Shirley and a hot cup of tea.

I have been outside for about 90 minutes. First I tried to fire up the snow blower, but some mice have chewed on the wires and that was a no go. Luckily a neighbor cleaned out the driveway. Thanks to Mark for taking the time to help out.

I took my Nikon and walked around the the neighborhood in Eldersburg and was able to document the storm. I took the dog this morning and nothing beats watching a lab run through the snow. She loved it, but didn't care for the blowing snow. We will go out again this afternoon and feed the birds at the same time. Of course the camera will be going along.
