Most will say that 2020 was not a very good year and they are looking forward to it ending. And here, the year ended with a cloudy, frosty, gray winter day so here is hoping next year will be better.

The new layer of snow had lots of deer tracks to look at, but tracks in the snow just are not as colorful as summertime walks when the flowers are blooming even if some of the blossoms are white.

During the summer, mowing lawn is a fairly regular chores (if you don’t have lambs for lawn mowers), but during the winter, shoveling snow is a weekly chore as Mother Nature can be unpredictable when it comes to snow storms. Sometimes the storm is just a nuisance dusty, but other times it is a time consuming event to get all shoveled out again so hopefully morning will reveal just a light coating from tonight’s snowfall.

In six months, white spots on a twelve-spotted skimmer can be found around the pond, instead of the white snowflakes falling from the sky.

Some frost remained on the trees this morning and snowflakes added more decoration this afternoon.

Mother Nature added more Christmas decorations in the form of frost this morning. And at times the sky looked like a snow globe when the frost started to fall.

The infant would have needed a lot of blankets to keep warm if born here last night in an open stable with the -25 wind chills. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

The view this morning looked like a scene from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer television special when the blizzard buries the town. And Rudolph’s nose might not have brighten the way last night in the blowing snow so it is a good thing it is clear tonight for Santa’s sleigh but it will be a cold sleigh ride.

The winter storm is bringing in more snow and high winds so Mother Nature is decorating for Christmas. The burdock dead blossoms almost decorative light blubs.

I don’t think this poor little pine tree is looking forward to more snow tomorrow when the snow earlier this week already had it leaning from the snow covered branches. Although this Charlie Brown tree might safe from being cut for a Christmas tree since it doesn’t appear like more than a branch.
