The Slow Lane

Driveway

The sun has done a good job of melting a lot of the snow on the sunny side of the hills and houses. The shady spots have maintained a lot of the snow that began falling the week before Christmas with more coming before the previous snow melted. Places like our driveway entrance, just in front of our house, and even the front half of our roof still have snow, in some cases 7 inches or so. Four wheel drive got us through the driveway entrance and under the carport. The last 3 days have warmed up into the 50′s and even 60′s yesterday, so snow melt activity has speeded up.

I’ve seen deer eating rhododendron leaves and a ruffled grouse walk across the yard and fly off.
