White Christmas

If you were looking for a Christmas that's merry and bright, it wasn't today. Today came close, though. Thanks to this morning's freezing rain that later turned to regular rain, it was dreary and white.

When I went to feed this morning, I was pelted with sleet or freezing rain. I'm not sure which. Today was the first time my glasses ever iced over while I was feeding critters.

 Thanks to the several inches of last week's snow storm,  today was officially a white Christmas.

Normally, you'd see Smith Mountain to the right in the above. Not today.

The above picture is what the view from my study window looked like late this afternoon. Normally, you'd see the Peaks of Otter. Not today, though. Even with all the rain, my front steps and sidewalk were still snowed/iced under.

If it's bright you want, we need to back up a few days. Thanks to a bit of hubby's tractor work, I have a path down the yard and a more or less plowed bottom driveway.

He even made the tractor equivalent of crop circles in the back yard.

Is that cool, or what? Well, it's beyond cool.  It's frozen.

Merry Christmas!
