This Weekend....

 I Took this shot on Friday evening. The last picture of the sunset was at the same time.  I seem to never get things in the right order. :):) You can see the road is clear and our driveway.
 This is what happened yesterday. The snow melted, well almost all of it . The snow drifts and the neighbors plow piles are still standing. Although they are much smaller. I say hooray for that.
 Funny how much I can take of the cold when the sun is out.  I love the brightness of the sun on the snow.
   Our county and city workers have done a fine job keeping the roads passable. We have to keep the mailbox dug out for mail delivery.  The sidewalks in town are horrid. Our city , many years ago, would plow every sidewalk. Now they leave it up to the home owners. Not every home owner can shovel the walks. Some are just not that strong. Some probably have dug out and the snow plows throw it right back.
   When I lived in town, I had to dig out more than once because of that. Out here, as I clear the drive, I just push the snow on across the road away from the front roadway....then when the plow comes through it's easier to clear it again.
  We had up to 50 degrees in temperature yesterday. Today will be cloudy and the temps will be cooler, but that sure was a fantastic break. I love it.   Hope your day is great. XO

  1. Lovely pictures, but I don't do snow. Have lived in a couple of places that had it, but picked a retirement area that never gets it.

    1. Laurie, The snow can look so pretty with the hoar frost on the trees too. But I am like you I love when the roads are cleared. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  5. Susie, the first and last picture are so beautiful with the sunset showing its colors on the snow. The homeowners are still shoveling snow in your area? You have such a great attitude of thankfulness even when there is this much snow coming your way. Oh, how I wish it would snow here, Susie.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, One evening as the skies were full of pinks and purples...it really reflected on the snow as purple. I love that. When we see the sunsets, we know that God is the true artist. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  6. I like the photos of the bare trees. Snow is beautiful as it is falling and love it for a day or two, but no more than that. Shoveling snow and ice is pretty hard work, especially for older people.

    1. Nonnie, Some snow photos are pretty. I like when the trees have frost on them. I shovel in small amounts and in shifts. I take breaks. Ted uses the snow blower. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  7. Hi Susie, First a belated Happy Birthday. Your flowers were beautiful. We didn't have any snow like you got in your area. We did have some beautiful weather reaching the high 50's and even a 60 degree. We could ask for anything better. I don't shovel my snow. I have a young man who does it for me. He treats me as though I am his mother. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.

  9. Love your pictures. They are so pretty. We have not had much snow at all here this winter. After last winter it is a welcome change. We have only two steps in the front and our sidewalk is about 9 feet long so it takes us less than 15 minutes to do the whole thing. However if some kids come asking to clean it and the price isn't too high, we let them do it.
