Snowshoeing Blues

Maery Rose February 11, 2009January 30, 2015

There’s a lot of meltage going on

And it’s not a good thing

Cuz a freeze is a cominnn tonight.

I could be a songwriter. Or not…

I about broke my neck trying to walk to the barn in the dark this morning. There’s some snow, some grass, a lot of ice, and puddles resting on top of all of it. Tonight it’s supposed to drop down to 25 degrees and stay in the 20s for at least a week.

I worry about the horses slip slidin away. So I put down a hay and dirt mixture by the water tank to help them out some. Unfortunately, I can’t cover the whole paddock.

And you know why we’re having this early thaw when just a couple weeks ago we had all this lovely, fluffy snow? It’s because I bought snowshoes a couple weeks ago. Java and I had a blast the two times we did manage to get out and snowshoe. Well, I snowshoed. Java just ran around.

And What Did You Do This Fine Weekend?

Before I continue on and on and on with my photos of New York, I have to tell you about my “To Do” list. Exciting, right? Spring certainly does create lengthy “To Do” lists, especially if you are expanding your gardens and have a lot of house and yard maintenance to do. I wanted to…

Tree Moods Trees move me Even when downed Mystery wrapped in texture Individuals Changing with seasons The rush and robbing of light The dogs and…

A River Runs Through Us – part 1

I began writing my observations of the Mississippi River and how this summer’s drought and a river bank restoration project affected the river and woods. Observing this area close to home turned into a summer project, which I plan to continue for a while. Rather than present my observations with photos and explanations, I wrote…

Winter Triathlon

We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. — Japanese Proverb It appears quite a few people could relate to my dog hair blues yesterday. I thought a long-haired dog would actually be easier to clean up after than a short-haired dog. Maery logic said that the long hair would…

Photo Experiments and Accidents

Once again, I have a post on Vision and Verb titled “Doggone It!” on the joys and challenges of life with dog(s) that I hope you’ll check out. The above photo and the ones that follow were taken as part of an assignment for my weekly photography class where we were supposed to try different…

Conflicting Emotions

Crazy, busy day. I’m never ready for Christmas and this year is no different. I wrote my Christmas cards last night and wrapped a present for my son, so the key thing to get done today was make a trip to the post office. I was dreading that, knowing how busy it would be. So…
