Freezing Rain and Snow
We had rain yesterday with temperatures near 50 degrees, then after dark
the temps dropped into the mid 20s. The rain kept falling and began
freezing, then early this morning it changed to snow falling and we woke
to about an inch of snow on the ground. The snow was still falling and I
talked Linda into taking a ride in the Mule with me to take a few
pictures and let Daisy out of her pen.
The
sun was shining while it was snowing as I looked back at the house on my
way to start the Mule. Linda went to the barn stall and let Daisy out.
We loaded Daisy in the back and drove down by the creek and I took a few
pictures while Daisy romped around in the snow.
She
was as frisky as a puppy. It might have been the first time she had been
in the snow since she was old enough to remember. She kept coming back
to the Mule like she wanted to get back in because she didn't know what
to think about the snow.
The
rain water had the creek flowing too quickly for the water to freeze.
I
loaded Daisy back in the Mule and headed back towards the barn to put
her in her stall, but stopped by the edge of the road and took another
picture of our house with the light snow on the ground.
