Winters of Yore

As you may have guessed from posts past, I love winter. I love snow, cold weather, everything. I love walking in it. I enjoy driving in it, ice skating and sledding. It has been a long time since we've had what I call a good winter. So far, this winter has been pretty good; as of early January, we've had more snow than has been the case for a number of years and, even though we've lost some of it to warm weather and rain, we still have a fair amount left. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to get a little skiing in this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Here are a few photos from around the neighborhood.

The Yahara River, not far from our house, looking upstream:

John Greenler, a friend of mine, posted another photo of the Yahara River, maybe twenty miles downstream from where these were taken. He's a better photographer than I am.

Last time I looked at this river there was a Dalmation splashing around in it and I was on my belly on the thin ice trying to haul her back in. I like your views of it better.

Great shots. I miss snowy winters.

Suzy: I was glad there was no dalmation rescue necessary.

Dr. MvM: You would be welcome to come and share our snowy winter. I just can't promise that it will stay snowy for very long.

Ed: I like the photos. I have a river that looks like that near my house, too!

And........I'm glad you like winter so much. I'll give you a call to help me shovel sometime. We can admire the river while we shovel. Whaddya say?

Sure, I'd love to help you shovel! Want to help me shovel, too? I don't have a river across the street from me, though.
