I was sure I would wake up this morning and have a freshly-dusted sparkly world to photograph for you. Ha. The sleet I drove through to get home last night is all melted away. It never turned to snow. There is no snow. I emphasize this because I can tell from the searches that bring you here that you want to see snow. So do the ski resorts, but there isn’t any.
However, I have snowy pictures from last winter, and the winter before. Lots of them. Lessee . . . here’s one Katherine took of the old stone silo out on the Flat Road:
Betty Beeby says there’s a story connected to that silo. She’s digging through her files to find it. I’m going to go over there and help her. (I have to get out of here. When Jack Bodis sees I’ve put a snowy picture on the blog when there isn’t even any snow he’s gonna be seriously annoyed.)

Love the silo in the snow! Last year, here where I live in Kansas, there wasn’t much snow. I am hoping for good amounts of snow this winter so I can practice snow photography! So, what is the story connected to this very neat silo? 🙂

As much as I love snow photos, Gerry, I would never wish snow on you… at least not yet. 🙂 Although I realize in that part of the world it IS snow time.

Are you worried that there will be no snow this winter? David and Sarah saw the ground covered last night (he said she seemed very surprised), and one of these days or nights it will surely persist.

Hello everyone. I’m still digging out the silo story. Update soon. I am not in the least worried that there will be no snow. I am positive that there will be quantities. I only hope that it will be nice, fluffy snow. Now I’m going to go outside and play in the sunny, snow-free day!

I, um, hadn’t considered the possibility of a jinx factor. On the other hand I don’t think I should be held liable if it snows in northern Michigan in December. I’m pretty sure that’s gonna happen no matter what I do.
I was over at Betty’s this morning hearing more about the story of the silo and getting some homework when you and Maya strolled by. I took that as a good omen.

Personally, I’m hoping for no snow as long as possible – I’d even go for a green Christmas! We’re supposed to get snow showers here off and on all week but woke up to rain this morning.
Can’t wait to hear the silo story!

Me neither! But I have to do my homework to unearth it.
