Roof sculpture...

I think this photo deserves a post all of its own. As the thaw set in the icy snow began its gradual descent down the roof to drop onto the deck with thumps that had us tensing up as we do with the quakes. I caught this row of incisors early morning and at about their maximum length I suspect. Must say I am very proud of this shot :-)


With the nor'west winds the snow is melting fast. Fortunate for the chooks who refused to put a foot on the white stuff. They huddled in their house and could not be tempted out by the tastiest morsels. Similarly Rosie goat who stayed in her house and waited for food to be brought to her while children tobogganed down her snowy section. The cats, on the other hand, had a ball in the snow. While the bees...

... but that is another story.

Winter wonderland...

And we were worrying that we hadn't had a 'real winter'!  My house, garden and along the road about 9.00am this morning.
