Snow Picspam!

It's been snowing all day, and I love it (though I would have loved it more in December). As soon as I got home from work, I put on the snowshoes, grabbed the digital camera, and tromped into the backyard to take a few pics. Damn good thing I wore the snowshoes, too, because I would have been ass-deep in a matter of minutes. It's drifted pretty high in places.

Anyway.



Here is Wilhelmina, the frosted mini-sheep. They've mostly been hanging out in their little three-sided shed, but they ventured out to say hello to me and were promptly coated with snow. And the best part is, they don't even seem to care. In the pic below, Minnie has about an inch of ice on her ears, and she was just standing out there, chewing her cud. I half expected to hear her quote Catherine Tate: "Am I bovvered?"



"Look at my face. Do I look bovvered? No, because I ain't bovvered!"



Here is the very very backyard, behind the big shed. I absolutely adore that tree in the foreground. It is this bizarre, twisted little thing; I have no idea what kind of tree it is. The sheep are chewing the bark a bit, so I think I'm going to string some chicken wire around it come spring. Mother will probably make fun of me for this, but I'd hate to see that fugly little tree die.

And finally, a self-portrait. Lookit my frosted pigtails! Also, three cheers for the scarf damn_tatterhood made me. It is delightfully warm.

Glee! I'm glad the scarf is working out so well!

And yay for lightly frosted sheepies!

The scarf seriously rocks my world. I wear it daily. Then again, this is the first scarf I've ever had that was like, "RAA, I AM A SCARF AND I'M NOT SCARED TO SAY SO!" All my previous scarves have been tiny little things best tucked into my coat, and not all that warm.
