In Like A Lion

We have seen every type of weather the seasons have to offer in March.  You just never know what this month will bring.  This year, it began with snow and a roaring wind that lasted 2 days and created some beautiful drifts. Some of them are very impressive.  Once the back roads are cleared, it would be worth a drive out to where there are more trees to see more of Mother Nature's decor.
 
It is still beyond reason how cold it is out there, so I quickly grabbed my phone out of my pocket to take a few photos around my yard. What a big change! The weather never ceases to impress me.

    Seems like there's no end to the snow, doesn't it? We're back to almost bare ground again in southern ON and we had strong winds today but I'm sure we'll get dumped on before long. I've been looking at the drifts at a friend in Manitoba's yard on FB; haha, she's not amused.

    Your drifts are beautiful! We are expected to get snow this weekend. Had a couple of days of snow this whole winter and now it wants to show up again.

    Oh those drifts!! What amazing sculptures the wind creates :) We've had a couple of days of bitterly cold winds, but snow has been gone for a couple of weeks now. Winter coats are still required though ;)

    It's beautiful but I'm ready for Spring flowers and April showers! We've had a warm winter for Ohio but tomorrow they're calling for 5-8 inches of snow so I guess my yard will look like yours! Your dog is beautiful! He looks like one my in-laws had many years ago.

    Wow, these are great! It looks beautiful but very cold. The drifts are incredible! I'm also tired of the cold and wind but at least it's been sunny and the snow is melting. I'm so ready for spring and warmer temperatures. Have a nice weekend! Linda

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

Image
This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
