A snowy evening

[lavendertook]

The woods are lovely, dark and deep . . .



These are the woods beside my building at 9 pm this evening. The snow and pinkish white sky keep the dark at bay on a blustery night.

It started snowing around noon, but not really sticking until 4 pm. I got off work early, met Ostra hanging out around my car in the garage and fed her some tartar treats, then drove out to the Amish market in Annapolis and got some yummies for the snowed in weekend. The drive back from Annapolis was stunning, as the trees and grass were just starting to hold the snow, but the roads were fine. When I went out to clear my car around 8 pm, my car already had 4 or 5 inches on it. We're getting a minimum of 2 feet of snow, and maybe 3 before it ends tomorrow night. I've got purring furry ballast bags strapped to either side of me, so I'm snug for riding it out.

I'm looking forward to not having to dig tomorrow before getting back to it Wednesday. I'm getting to feel like a mighty frontier woman, though. roxicons makes some gorgeous icons.

Yeah, I think that part of VA is lower and on a level with the swamp land DC was built on--Maryland is a little hilly out here. But if you go an hour or so further west and north n VA then you start hitting real mountains, beating the heights we have here in MD, except for our western panhandle going out to West Virginia.

Virgina to the west -- both north and south of D.C. -- is very beautiful. I haven't driven out that way, through the Appalachians, in a long time, and never in winter. Just the thought of it makes me feel *most* un-pioneerish. Nighty-night, Lavender. Sleep warm. :)

Those roads in the snow are not for those of us with 2 wheel drive.
