The Old Road in Spring

I was out on the old road with my husband this past Saturday. It doesn't look much like spring yet, other than that the snow is all gone. But that's how it starts, and it will take a good rain to green things up.



But the pond is open. We've had frequent duck and goose visitors, and the turtles just emerged to sun themselves on the old fence posts that hang over the pond. I've got to get a picture of them; I think they're adorable.



And there are buds about to open.



But most of what's green is weeds.



And moss.



The moss is cool, though. I'm just waiting for some violets.

The Old Road in Winter

We got some fresh snow yesterday. It was windy, so it drifted in swirls all over our fields and yard. It took a little work to get out of the driveway this morning, but it sure is pretty.

Main photo

I have to give credit where credit is due. My husband took the picture at the top of my blog. He took some photos from the loft of our new garage before the west wall was put up. It's such a pretty view that we wanted some pictures. Someday when we finish that space, we'll want to put a window looking that direction.

The rise you see in the picture is an old roadbed, abandoned when the road was moved - hence the name of my blog. We live on the old road to... well, if you know where I live, you know where.
