snow, veggie tales, blizzard
As you can see by the above picture, we have a blizzard goin' on here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Thankfully, work closed down at noon and I helped dig a number of other staff out of our company parking lot. Another staff member drove a couple of us home in his 4x4. What snow? Just plow right through it all!! Woohoo!!
So while at home, I'm having some hot tea, some sandwiches and a few hours with Phil Vischer. You may not remember
that name, but most everyone knows of Veggie Tales. The book is entitled, "Me, Myself, & Bob".
Enjoy the snow day! Oh yeah: Cheryl, is your hubby trying out the new tractor with it's snowblower attachment? There's supposed to be another snow system on Sunday...

storms, snow, winter, art
The last day-and-a-half our region has been covered with snow in one of the heaviest snowfalls of the season – and we have had a lot this year.
And I loved every flake of it!
We are now covered with a thick, sound absorbent layer of snow. During the height of the storm yesterday, I enjoyed standing outside waiting for a ride while the snow and wind swirled around. The last two nights I had the blinds up on my bedroom window so I could lay there and watch the snow dance and curve around the parking lot light. The gliding, colliding, twirling, quickstream, slowstream nature of the wind whipping around the building made an artistic flow of movement worthy of admiration by any ballerina.
The snow falls where gravity plants it and yet can be rearranged in a second's notice by a wisp of wind or other colliding flakes. In the end there are smooth mounds or curvaceous streamed edges or sharp contoured overhangs closely following and covering the resistances of man to keep his pathways in the world.
Alas, God's own canvas of white will be marred by human machinations. Eventually, it will give way to warmer weather and provide us with much needed water for spring planting and raised water levels in the Great Lakes. In the meantime, photographers rejoice!
