Winter...

We've been struggling under the burden of the wintry weather over the last week and grumbling abounds over the continued cold temperatures and dumpings of snow. In an effort to shake off the ennui I've tried to catch some of the beauty of this dark season....


This probably says a lot about the insulation of our windows but....Jack Frost treated us to a lovely design on the inside of Savannah's window...


The bird-feeder post-last night's snowfall.....I cleared a path to it and the squirrel feeder and then dusted it off for our feathered friends. Not many of them about today though....

Our beloved maple, dressed for the winter in a lovely gown of white...

Even the evergreens have pulled on a snowy coat....

And this - the face of winter - unfazed by the cold or the snow, she plows valiantly on in the pursuit of Joy....except about 5 minutes after this was taken, she got snow down her back and was NOT pleased....:(
