We have been blessed with a week of winter weather, with more winter weather predicted for this next week. We have begun to hope for a White Christmas. The only white Christmas I can recall in recent years was created by fog. Definitely not snow.
small spruce tree by the road We were delighted (Daniel , Preston & I) to have the first storm (Saturday) to be snow falling straight down. The trees and landscape were beautiful... a sight we don't often get here because in Eastern Oregon the wind blows! But, alas, Wednesday the wind started blowing, we were disappointed, but found it interesting to watch the drifts being created. The swirling and sinking snowflakes give the ususally unseen wind clear visibity. I thought you might enjoy seeing our drifts.

What a wonderful, beautiful, new world we have outside!

Those are beautiful pictures. I especially love the two with the red barn in them. I've almost had an entire week off of work because of the snow. Crazy! Kind of like an early Christmas vacation for me. Merry Christmas you guys!!
This snow is amazing. I haven't seen it like this since I was little growing up in M-F. I hope you're able to fly to Estes Park on Sat.
