First of April

 

Friday 1 April 2022

After an early breakfast, Rich went outside on the porch while I knit a row or two on a “Feelin’ Groovy” tuque.  He came back in and said I should come outside to see something unusual—a rainbow!  I gingerly stepped on the porch because it was wet from the rain last night  and I was in sock feet —- looked at the sky but saw nothing.  “April Fool” he said and when I stopped laughing , he gave me a big hug and a kiss.  

Big Snow

Snowed so hard!

There is a Christmas Card

In our back yard.  

First Flower

The first flowers of spring -- Colt's Foot--  pop up beside the road before any others.  They will not live up to their name until later in the summer when their leaves resemble the shape of a horse's hoof. 

Smoky Joe's II

You may wonder, and sometimes we do, why would anyone need a place to get away from it all when you live in a place that is "away from it all." Pictured above is just such a place. No phone, no electricity, no kitchen, no office, no worries. And no, it is not on airbnb.

February Sunshine

When a house welcomes the sun

Little else needs to be done.

The Bluest Sky

I always say that there is no place on earth where the sky is bluer than  here on Music Mountain.  It is a wonderful thing to live in a place with clean air, pure water, blue sky and wonderful neighbors!

Sound of Snow

My morning walk began after the crossover from rain to snow.  I am always amazed by the sound of snow.  There was no traffic and little wind this morning and the snow emitted a slight hiss as it slipped through the trees.  Also audible were big drops of rain that accumulated in the snow on the branches until they could bear it no longer and fell to the ground with a plop.  Later in winter when the temperature drops to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, snow squeaks when stepped on but this morning, it was a squishy sound as my boots padded along the gravel road.
