Mo's Manic Monday - Tree
Posted: Monday, December 22, 2008 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at the Manic Monday blog. Today's theme is Tree.
Well what else would I post for this theme but pictures of the trees around our place, covered in snow!! These are pictures I took Thursday or Friday last week. We got more snow throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Then we had scattered snow showers all day on Sunday.
And it's freakin' cold!
We're still snowed in because we don't have shovels or plows to take care of the driveway that would get us to the main road. See the banner I made for this post? That's the way to the main road. This morning it is covered by at least 6" of snow, with a layer of ice underneath it.
Now if we could make it to the main road, the plows and de-icers have been doing a great job of keeping the freeways reasonably clear as long as you drive carefully. Pam's route to work is relatively flat, so she could probably get to her office downtown.
But I have to go to Seattle and my route is full of hills, both steep and not so steep. Vehicles are still sliding all over these surface streets. So we're doing what we think is the smart thing and working from home. If trying to drive on icy roads makes me a wuss, then mea culpa.
We are getting a bit stir crazy though. Later this morning or early this afternoon, maybe we'll try a little walk up to the main road and see what we can see.
Until I can be certain of my route all the way to my office, and all the way back home again, I'm staying put.
Happy Holidays and Joyous Yule to you!
Wow! I think it is gorgeous, minus the safety issues - too bad something so beautiful has to be so dangerous. I guess that can be said for all things "nature!"
Glad you weren't anywhere near that overpass..
Stay home, keep warm and enjoy the interlude.
~~~Blessings~~~
