I took these pictures earlier in March than the ones I posted yesterday. This was early March 2006. It snowed on March 4, the day before my birthday. Back then, we seemed to have a few snowy days every winter. I don't know exactly when that changed, but it's been a while now since we've had a good snowstorm.The first two photos above show the view off our front deck and a view of our neighbors' house and yard across the street on that March 4 nine years ago. The photo on the right shows the linden tree in the back yard that had so many gendarmes on it in yesterday's post.
The last two photos below show our back yard and the path that runs through it to the back gate on that snowy March day. The last one is a photo of our dog Collette, who was already 14 years old. She would die a couple of weeks later after suffering a severe stroke. She had been with us since July 1992, when we rescued her from an animal shelter in California.
I hate snow, but it makes for spellbinding magic views. How was Collette reaction to snow? Had she ever seen it before?
ReplyDeleteHad to publish three times the comment above before it stuck!
DeleteMy comments didn't post yesterday. This seems to be working. Nice photos Ken, as always.
DeleteColette was such a beautiful dog, and from your posts we know that she was well loved.
ReplyDeleteWe always told her that she was the prettiest dog. But Callie was also pretty dog, and so is Tasha.
DeleteSnow makes everything beautiful, especially Colette.
ReplyDeleteCollette’s coloring is beautiful.

Collette was a beautiful dog, but she was shy and afraid of strangers. Even though she knew me, I never was able to make friends with her.
ReplyDeleteCute photo of gorgeous Colette with her tongue tasting those snowflakes that you also captured in your snapshot!
