March, a month of madness |

The snow started around 2:30pm and looked like it might accumulate a little and the chickens weren't running for shelter, so I figured we might get an inch. But it kept coming down, heavy and wet and by 5pm, I couldn't help myself - I needed to stretch and move, and so I went on a walk. I tucked my camera in close and went out with my clear umbrella. I still couldn't see as the snow quickly piled up on the exterior of my plastic hut. I would shake it every so often when I paused to capture the beauty of Clarks Valley by lifting the umbrella with one hand and pressing the shutter button with the other. By the time my walk was over, we had at least 3-4 inches. Above is looking back toward the house and bridge on Clarks Valley Road... These two are at the foot of Peter's Mountain as the creeks winds through the valley. Mighty Poplars. Tucked in under my umbrella! When I finished my walk along the creek, I walked out into the field to visit my favorite Catalpa. I made a pass back by the house to say hello to the chickens who don't seem to mind snow at all, even when it's collecting on their backs and getting in their eyes. It was a beautiful day, the kind that makes your heart happy.
