THERE ARE SNOWBALLS AND THEN

THERE ARE SNOWBALLS....JANUARY 30 2014...

Crazy winter. So many things happening that are not 'normal' not 'good' and not 'helpful'.  Don't have much to say today, as everything seems to be going down-hill.  And we still have weeks to go.

Funny I would say down hill.  So what is so funny about that?  Well, let's see.....

Anyone living in this area probably saw on the evening news the report on the big snowballs laying around here and there.  Not snowballs made by us but snowballs made by the wind.

Yep - the wind.  I like to think that It is God playing in the snow.

Anyhow according to the weatherman, the wind blowing the snow in a certain way, whatever that way is, rolls the snow up into a snow ball, almost looks like a snow log, and when you see the end of the snowball it is indented, and they can vary in size

I don't know of anyone who has seen this before.  But would you believe, the bossman was looking at all the deer in our field and said to me it looked like one of those snow-bally things laying there.  He grabbed the binoculars and sure enough it was a wind-snowball.  I looked also.  Yep.  Wind snowball.  It was late in the day and could not get a good pic.

Yesterday morning about this time the light was right, grabbed the camera and sure enough got a couple of pics.

It is things like that that makes you realize what an awesome world we live in.  It is a shame more don't appreciate our world. 

Well, got things to do.  I haven't left the house for over a week but am busy every minute and the days are flying by.  By the way, I heard our famous ground-hog, Punxy Phil, committed suicide.  Guess we will find out for sure on February 2nd.  Could it be that because the super-bowl is being played on groundhog day, he felt that he would be second, and that would never do.

While you try to figure this out, stay warm, be careful, and God Bless.
