Well, finally, winter has decided to visit my little place ... so I can finally join the "look at my snow pictures" crowd [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
I'm just not used to having no snow for most of the winter and having a 6 inch snowfall considered as a major event. We had a "snow day" on Tuesday and it dumped 6 to 7 inches on my place. The horses seem to enjoy it as it makes it more fun to find those last 3 blades of grass that might just be under there.

The snows not really deep ... the horse is just short ... this is Mandy, the best little tri-color broodmare in .... well, at my place anyway. The first was a surprise [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] (we didn't realize she was pregnant), and the second was every bit as easy. Mandy's a whole 31 inches high at the whithers.

OK ... here's the house ... looking at the back/poolhouse with my shop on the right. Nice to actually see some snow around it ... but I'm not sure it'll stay long enough to get the sled out of the back of the garage. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

finally ... just for interest sake, here's an icicle. I thought it was somewhat interesting because I'mn used to a different law of gravity wherein things hand DOWN! [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
I first noticed that the melting snow was dripping on the shepherds hook flower hanger (beside the back door) and creating a icicle. I was surprised when I came home the next night and found it looking like this ... just had to snap a pic ... my guess is that the wind was blowing ????

Great pictures Pete...
Now tell me a secret... did you "shovel" the snow off the deck or "sweep" it...? [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
shovelled, John .... any opportunity for a little exercise is a GOOD thing!

Pete,
Thats a pretty cool icicle. How'd you do that?
Steve
Steve ... the reason I took that picture is because it stunned me ... I thought someone had repealed the law of gravity. As I said ... the only explanation I have is that the wind must've been blowing (like it always is here) and was constant enough to keep the drip blowing ot that side.. Certainly the most unique icicle I've ever seen ... and I've seen my share ... [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Wingnut, nice pictures and a nice place you have there. How much land do you have?
teeny tiny little place, Spenser ... my deed shows 8 acres, but I'm using about 12 or 13 .... since I was mowing the cell tower land (they never bothered and it looked terrible) between the house and pasture ... I kinda fenced it off and feed the horses.
Weird plt ... 1 acre at the front, and a 36 foot wide strip leading to the back and then 7+ acres back there.
But ... it's only 7 minutes from work ... [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
