Beautiful Day

Last Sunday was really pretty. The sun was shining and the snow was still white because it was not quite warm enough to melt. I took the camera outside and snapped a few photos. Here is our street view from in front of our home. The snow is piled up about three to five feet in places. It was the second snowiest January on record for Cleveland. Rebecca did much of the shoveling this year, and she was wondering where we were going to put all of the snow.

This week, most of the snow will melt. I am seeing all the trash that got plowed under start to appear. There's a CD at the end of my driveway. I also get a pretty good idea of how much poop our little dog produces in a week now that her excrement is exposed on the driveway. I haven't been able to clean it up much the last couple of weeks because 1. it was buried in snow so I couldn't see it, and 2. it was frozen to the snow piles.

One of things I love about our now very blue house is that I can see it against the snow. I still may pass the driveway entrance (from the road, it's like searching for gaps in walls), but I never miss the house. I can now see it from the corner. The bad part is that the clean surface now has reddish streaks from condensation and roof drippings. It will need a wash in the spring.
