I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!



Snow in Greensboro December 26, 2010



We had a White Christmas this year, a BIG White Christmas. This was the first significant Christmas snow since 1942 and it is hitting the record books for this neck of the woods. The nor'easter that brought it is really playing havoc with the rest of the East Coast with blizzard conditions and high winds as well as snow that is measured in feet instead of inches. However, we had just enough to be beautiful but the roads aren't too bad. It is supposed to be in the 50's by next Friday, so I am going to enjoy the snow while it's here. Without further delay, let me post some pictures!



Fluffy Snow and I-85



Just another day on the farm!

I'm farm sitting and because I am on break between semesters, I am enjoying relaxing and taking pictures. Ok, let me rephrase that. After the chores and the work is done, I am relaxing. I got pummelled by two 150 lb goats last time. I will have to say, they are much better behaved this time. I guess they just wanted out of the barn to see the snow. So, I usually go in a couple of times a day to gather eggs, feed the ducks and chickens, check and fill their water, and basically take care of them. I decided that after all of that was done, I would take my camera in and try to get some pictures. There is one rooster who is beautiful, one who likes to peck your shoelaces and one that is a meanie!  The sun was just rising over the hill, and the light was pretty cool. The mean rooster, who is black and white, was so beautiful with the sun shining through his tail feathers. I got a couple of good shots and even one has he was turning to come get me. I will add a couple here and on facebook. As usual, you can always see them on my website, www.daylilydreamsphoto.com. Enjoy and remember, poultry makes a difficult subject, they run around too much and then sneak up on you and attack your shins!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Be safe and be blessed. Here are all the languages I learned to say Merry Christmas in but I am not sure if I spelled them right. They are English, German, Hawaiian, French and Spanish.  So let me know how the are really spelled. Merry Christmas, Frohe Wienachten, Mele Kalikimaka, Joyeux Noel & Feliz Navidad. I couldn't remember Russian so I went to google translator. Here it is in Cyrillic and then transliterated in our alphabet. С Рождеством, (S Rozhdestvom).
