So John (Clute) asked if I was ready for the snow — see comments on last week’s post. Yes! On Tuesday we got dumped on again with 8 inches of sticky wet snow. Wednesday we were greeted by snow sculptures in the trees. Here is our Blue Spruce.<\/p>\n

The ramp leading to the train has a pattern cut into the fence. The snow picked out the detail in the pattern.<\/p>\n

The sunny bench greeted us with a Good Morning!<\/p>\n

Finally, close to the office, these trees were reflected in the pond.<\/p>\n
