Fab Feb!

      
           This is what my first week of February looked like. On the first day, freezing rain fell most of the day, with a odd  20 minute window of sunshine, just long enough to melt the ice hanging from power lines, then a rainbow was spotted. Iced like a cake, my popicle house was my haven for 2 blissful days, to putter and play! Day 3 hit a high of 25 and it felt good after sub zero wind chills and below normal temps. Amazing how numbers can really mess with you! lol   Day 4, just a half to one inch of snow is predicted, no big deal they said, we woke to 6 inches of the prettiest snow I've seen in years, post card worthy snow! So, we took a drive yesterday, couldn't get enough of the white wonderland all around me. I hated to walk on the fluff, it looked so peaceful and pure but my camera begged me to capture the beauty that I now understand and appreciate a whole lot more. I will remember this beauty when the worst of summer keeps me inside and my garden is drying, it's all in the master plan and I will try to make peace with it and find the reason for each season. I'm growing up!

  1. Love these photos. I had it in mind to take a drive yesterday with my camera but it just didn't happen. We are supposed to get another big storm this week so maybe I will make it out after all. Stay warm in cozy.

  5. Beautiful pictures Sue. AZ has had enough snow and other moisture that our Lake Mead will rise with the snow melt. I am glad that we are warming up for a little while.
