Ruby Tuesday 2 occurs this week after the Blizzard of 2013 - at our home in Ansonia, we received about 35" (89cm) of the fluffy and frozen precipitation. Yet with all the monochromatic white snow all over, a pair of rubies stand out: an overmatched Toro electric snow thrower and Allegra's bold red Plymouth Neon peering out on Saturday. The kids worked very hard to clear the driveway with shovels and the small thrower, school days throughout the state cancelled through Wednesday. Cabin fever best remedied with blog posts :)
Toby hosts the great meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors in which we looks for portals of interest. As Connecticut is awash in snow, the results of the Friday Blizzard of 2013 leaving about 32 inches/81 cm of the fluffy white on our town - the most from one storm that I remember, and that includes the storm in Feb 1978. So I haven't been outside the garage door but am using the old iPhone for today's post; views from L-R are: through front storm door, yesterday 15:40 EST (snow has been removed); out front window today about and out rear slider door. Roads are still being plowed, so I will stay another day looking outside at the snow...I do hope the groundhog was right about Spring soon :)
SOOC - Straight out of the Camera - is back and the recently delivered snow is more than I have seen in CT before. Even with two big kids and a meager snow thrower, the cleanup will extend through tomorrow. However, straight out out of the phone shots at wheelchair height from the garage door are impressive as clearing the snow starts to be cleared...The reward for their effort will be roast chicken and mashed potatoes - comfort food a small price for their labors :)
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and if I may...I am kind of tired of the fluffy frozen precipitation. But like the post, the memes should be delivered in any weather. Of course in the Northeast US, everyone is taking digital pictures of the fallen snow...
Last night, we opened the garage door and I captured flash shadows of her measuring the snow, which at 9:40 PM measured 11 inches (28 cm)...this morning, I'd say 30 in/76 cm, but cannot tell for sure due to the drifts.
However, as the sun is peeking through the cold gray sky, a solar shadow emerges out the front window. Yes, the snow rises to railing height outside - yet a shadow is still a shadow...
A fourth birthday party was held awhile back with cake, candles and Smurfs party hats on all. Still charming...See Tina's WW
