Snow is still falling

Today is the sixth day of snow.  Not much compared to Buffalo, but a record for Portland.  Here are a few progression pictures showing our pond.

On day three we got more snow and a harder freeze

Day 3

Since I was getting cabin fever, I decided to build a snowman.  Having a nice sheet of ice on the pond gave me an idea.  Problem was the snow is VERY dry.  I have to add water to get the snow to stick.

I worked on the front yard on day 5, so no picture of the back yard.  But here is a picture of a blur hering sitting on the fence, looking for a snack.

Day 6

The morning of day six found my pond surface almost thawed and Mr. snowman leaning over.  Two hours later!  MORE SNOW!

Tonight is Christmas Eve service.  Our pastor (T.J.) really wants the service to go foorward.  Actually, so do I, I haven’t played a Christmas Eve service in 25 years!  Lets all pray for clear streets.

Stay warm.
