This picture above is the first day of our snow storm on Friday 2/5/10. My work let us leave early that day and this picture was taken just after I got home.
And this is Saturday morning. A 5' drift on our front walk and nearly up against the garage door.
I am 5'3". This is how tall the drift was.
This is one of our neighbors across the street. He is standing ON TOP of the snow drift trying to dig his way to his front door.
And here is my snow man. Hard at work doing our driveway. Once he was done, he ventured out to many of our neighbors. He went out 3 different days and loved every minute of it. He even had to pull someone out of the ditch with his truck just across the road in this picture.
And this is Pepper the cat discovering snow for the first time. Eventually he started batting it back and forth and even managed a few good mouth fulls.
And now we flash forward to today. We had one very beautiful pre-spring weekend. The sun was out all weekend with warming temperatures. Today we stopped at DQ and headed down to the Englewood Reserve and take in a bit of nature and sunshine. Any other day this would not be an impressive picture, but today the scenery was quite uplifting. There was still ice on much of the water, but that certainly did not seem to bother any of the ducks and geese.
And here is the sunshine shot. Yes, the shine on our glasses is the sun. We sat for about half an hour on a park bench by the water just letting the warmth of the sun hit our faces. After dealing with a nearly depressing winter, it's hard to believe something so basic can be so rejuvenating and provide us with so much hope.Yes God IS good.
