Monday's Storm

I've about had it with winter, I can tell you. HAD IT. THE END. DONE. NO MORE. I'm going to sink into a morass of t.v. and hard liquor if this goes on any longer.

But it was beautiful. I'll give Winter that. You are gorgeous, Winter. And while I sit swilling my next Scotch I"m looking at your icy, cold beauty.

Our power went out. But this time for only 12 hours instead of 24! Hooray!

Here are a few pictures:

I swear there were turkeys back here...I swear it. It's just that I was standing INSIDE when this picture was taken....if you want real Maine turkeys..go HERE.

Pretty bleak, huh? Pretty, and bleak.

However, Tuesday was a beautiful and sunny day....the sunlight glistened off the ice covered trees and I put away my Scotch and actually showered.

 

 

And now it's all gonna melt into a quagmire of muddy,  slushy, snowy ICK. BUT..it will be warmer...and it will smell like spring. And the birds will twitter and frolic, and the days will get longer and longer and the woodland creatures will dance. But that's at LEAST a month away. Sigh.

I don't even have the ability to take pictures of the beautiful snow anymore. The snow can no longer seduce me with her cold beauty. I am officially hibernating until it thaws.

I'm with you on the swilling liquor and hiding inside..... we have mud season to look forward to ... and black flies the size of your hand :)

Oh you had to mention the black flies! How am I to garden this year? We just moved to an area notorious for the black flies. D'uh!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Love the photos! They remind me of life back in Northern NY. As do the comments. Love the pretty snow, hate the shoveling, and driving,and cabin fever....
