Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
Well, our son was supposed to return from Winter Camp at Crystal Lake tomorrow, but because of this snow storm (some say blizzard) on the east coast
We only got 20 inches of snow, but I know people in Connecticut that got 36 and 40 inches. I guess that’s enough for folks to feel a need to name this storm?
It was three degrees out this morning and the first thing I did was take these photos of the frost on our windows. We are surrounded by beauty every day!
What is more remarkable than this snow was the 5o degree weather we had last weekend! These photos were taken as “drive by shootings” with my iPhone on the…
A year ago, we had bragging rights on 62 inches of snow in January alone. This January, the large majority of our days have had temperatures far above freezing.
After a few warm days, our heaps of snow have started to melt. Lots of the snow is looking pretty dirty at this point. We even can see bits of grass under the large pine tree in our front yard, but make no mistake, it’s still 18” high most places. Happily, the dangerous snow on … Read more
How appropriate on a day where it is raining (or is it reigning?) ice out there to post more icicle photographs? Have a happy Groundhog Day everybody…
After breaking records for snow accumulation in January, it’s snowing again now that it’s February too. Everything’s cancelled once more. (The photo above is where our sidewalk meets our driveway; it’s hard to see around to get out on the road!) There are piles of snow higher than our van, and the sidewalk umbrellas have … Read more
You gotta love living in the northeast, where we get to hunker down and hibernate for a few months. It makes us appreciate the other seasons so much more! And the privilege of extra reading time under cozy polar fleece blankets is another fringe benefit of the area. So here we are, going nowhere, yet … Read more
We’ve had a lot of snow so far this January. Public school kids here have missed at least 8 days of school this month, not counting late openings and early dismissals. One snow alone dumped two feet. You can see it up to the table tops in one photo below. That lump above is our … Read more
With temperatures in the fifties yesterday and today, we are thinking spring with good reason! As the weather here improves quickly, I wanted to slip in these photos I took of snow at New Pond Farm just last week, while at least the calendar still says it’s winter!
I took these photos early last Saturday morning after a 12 hour slow snow the day before. I had a great time taking these; I hope you like them… Even though you know I love bright colors, grey can be beautiful!
Wonderful ice cream grazes on these fields at other times
of the year! I hope you like these wintery but pastoral shots…
