We had some snow

[jesse_the_k]

The warnings were dire, but so far we've only had 4-5 inches on the ground. The snow is very heavy and wet and it's barely freezing. That's good news on the street, where it rapidly melts. It's sad news in the backyard, where thick snow brought down three branches on our oldest pine tree, which blocked the street behind our house. Thank heavens for neighbors with chainsaws.

Earlier in the day, MyGuy and Bella went exploring on the bike path. It's a tunnel of white: snow covers the path itself, all the vegetation on the sides, and weighs down the branches of the trees and bushes. Since our black mutt Bella is certain there's something exciting just ahead, her leash is stretching forward into the future.

I've been playing around with this too. I can't say people will agree with my reading of an image, but at least they'll know what I was thinking when I chose it.

(Sadly, few people are willing to say, "Thought this random clip art would make the article look a little more presentable," which I believe is the motivation for at least 86% of all images on blogs.)
