Now that the snow has all melted, and we’re probably not getting any more this season (though might), I thought I’d post some pictures of the light dusting of snow during the past week. The weather forecast was suggesting we might get several inches, but it was more like half an inch. A little disappointing, not enough to break out the snow shovel, but at least it didn’t outstay its welcome.
Here’s the brown gazebo, tree grove, and new chicken coop:
The mostly frozen pond, with duck paths through the thin ice:
Beyond the pond, with snowy trees down the bank:
Our back lawn, with the pond off to the left, and brown gazebo in the background:
From a little farther back, the path to the pond deck:
The stream (behind the shrubs, and currently off) and cat house:
Fountain garden, with the white gazebo in the background:
A bonus cat picture of Pumpkin drinking from the heated water dish:

The fully frozen pond, with snow drifts on top of the ice:
Our front steps and driveway circle, looking towards the veggie garden, hoop house, and beehives in the distance:
The beehives; the melting in the center of the roof of each hive indicates that the bees are still alive, at least as of now; still got a few months before they’ll be able to resume operations:
I would have thought a slight dusting would be more welcome than a thick blanket – very picturesque, but not enough to dig out the snow shovel!
Beautiful!
Yeah, it’s fun… though snow that sticks around a few days is more fun. I enjoy shoveling it, as a rare thing. So long as it doesn’t stick around too long, preventing us from going out if needed. I don’t go out much, though.
