The snow just keeps falling here in my corner of the world.  Nellie loves it of course...she rolls, and rolls and shoves her face itos the drifts snowplow style every few feet. It has been a mild winter, not too many days in the minus 20's or 30's. But with that....lots of flurries, snow, cloudy weather....very dreary.

Last night's flurries were heavy and wet creating this snowball bush - in winter.  I envy those bloggers from around the world who have frog spawn in ponds and the first flowers up. That is still months away here. March can be dreadful or mild and quite delightful...it is shaping up to be one of the delightful March's. My fingers are crossed!

The river was frozen over only for a few weeks this year.  40 years ago it used to freeze over in late November, we skated on it at Christmas and the ice didn't usually begin to break up until mid to late March......climate change....I think so.

Your photo of the river with the low sun hanging over it is gorgeous. I also enjoyed your other photos and especially your dog in the snow.

I'm not a Canadian but many of those Foxworthy comments pertain to us here in the NW corner of Oregon. That was a fun read.
