Early-morning photos, which would have been sunrise shots if the sky hadn't been thick with cloud, show winter is not finished with us on the prairie. It might even have just begun.
Lindy and I will not be driving to the airport in the snow and the dark this evening to fetch Dick, who has been away for 9 days on his company trip with his daughter Randi. They had a super time in the Dominican Republic, and now they're coming home to snow, snow, and more snow. Do you hear a faint hint of gloating in my tone? You just might be right. LOL

| Of course, the ornamental crabapple tree attracted deer when Lindy and I weren't looking, as evidenced by the hoofprints they left after their dance was done (above, and below). |

The neighbors across the street had their car out, but my car stayed home, like a good little car.

There is something a little wistful about seeing a foot of snow on a hot tub but I like the “necklace of icicles” you described so well. Looks like winter has stepped in with a vengeance. And it looks like Dick is coming back just in time do the shoveling!!
That top photo is amazing. It looks just like blue damask! Beautiful.
We got an unexpected flurry today. It lasted only thirty minutes, then the sun came out and it was all gone (except for a light dusting under the trees) in another thirty minutes. I called it a flurry in a hurry. - Margy
Wonderful photos. I feel cold just looking at them. :)
That's a lot of snow Kay. I wish it snowed in at Yosemite, a few weeks ago, I would not have cancelled our trip. Would be fun taking lots of photos.
Good choice keeping the care indoors.
So did poor Dick have to walk home in the snow? ;>) Lovely winter pictures. (But all things considered I think I'd choose the Dominican Republic!)
that's a LOT of snow! (i don't really want snow, but i wouldn't mind a bit of cool weather... it's been warm and humid here, AGAIN.)
