Well Were waiting for a very big storm with winds from 50 to 60 miles an hour with up to 90 mile an hours gusts! 6 or more inches of snow today and tonight. Then they say we could have freezing rain. So there is a very good chance well be losing power. I really hope not but in case we do I thought Id post a few of the pics I took yesterday. I'll take more when the storm comes in after we get more snow . As you can see in the picture above ( click to enlarge and see the house on the far left corner) .. if all of this gets hit by high winds and or freezing rain or even more snow.. were in trouble. Penny said a few years back during a winter storm they had some of the trees come down.. you cant see it but behind them was the original old homestead house. it now has a caved in room from a large cedar falling on it. ( I will take some pics of that next time) At one time they had considered fixing it up as a guest house but not now.. So Penny is afraid of a tree falling on her place and as I live in the back of the red barn in my studio/apartment I only have one tree leaning towards me..the rest are far enough away from the buildings, but that one very tall tree grows in the direction twords the barn and its a very tall tree.. but..... it looks like the winds will be coming from the east so I may be fine there.. ..I hope..so if no one hears from me for a week or so it may be because we have no power! so If Im not able to post before then I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! heres more pretty winter photos!
heres pea pod getting ready to run on the path to the woods for snow not quite as deep and lots of birds and squirrels to chase!
Heres sky the weirdly marked smutty palomino. I think he looks like some kind of bizarre pinto!
Heres Hawk the other gaited morgan on the farm and one of the fattest!
Here's Penny showing how deep the snow is.. about to her knees and deeper in some spots. she is standing on the path we have from her backdoor to the barn.
Heres miney trying to see over the snow in our back yard.
Heres the farm sign out front by the road. I painted this over 10 years ago.. next spring were going to do a new sigh with new paintings on it!
its pretty in the snow though!
This is a view from the road looking down he driveway.. yep pretty deep snow. were going to try to get out to the store later today before the storm hits.. lol wish us luck!
This is a view at the end of the driveway looking east down the road.. nope not plowed yet! in fact we didn't even get mail yesterday but they promise us mail today... well see.....
This is a view looking to the west towords Stanwood. way over on the other side of those trees in the far distance.
This is a view down the side of the red barn, thats my propane tank there covered up. I thought the fence posts were pretty all covered in snow like this.
Heres the back view of old barn. we store some of the local hay and the tractor in here.
