7 Days: Day 1 – Snowy night

The return of 7 Days and I started this run in the dark, in the early minutes of the first day. My goodness it was cold out there. Though it had melted a bit during the day, the snow on the lawn was still very deep to plod through. And while stationing the camera need [...]

Six inches

All that staring out of the window yesterday worked and after some snow and even a bit of lightning in the evening, the weather gods got to work overnight and dumped six inches of snow over our house.

7 Days: Day 3 – Sunshine
