Okay, it’s confession time. I’m directionally challenged, but I’m getting out my maps of the world. Will you be my witness and travel companion? From Georgia to Gallup, Greece to Gibraltar, I’m determined to go to my grave without taking another wrong turn.
Winnie Nielsen says: This is a unique photo. Was it heavy frost or light snow? Really gorgeous view too.
MaryJane says: Light snow, Winnie. My farm is just off the photo to the right. I love the contrast between the wildflower/wild prairie preserve on the left and the plowed field.
Lisa Von Saunder says: nice sprinkling of snow, very pretty – its snowing again in Amishland.
Gerald says: It already looks Coldddd. Yes that’s a stutter, my teeth are chartering.
Winnie Nielsen says: One of the great benefits of frost and snow it that it kills lots of the parasites in the soil that are both bad for agriculture and grazing animals. Here in Florida, when we have mild Winters, the mosquitoes and soil parasites that effect animals are extremely problematic. Although we don’t get snow, we can get some frost and it is very important and useful for all of us. Prior to the recent pre-weekend rains, the super warm weather had made the mosquitoes as bad as they were in August!
Winnie Nielsen says: The colors of your landscapes at the farm are inspirational. The sky is always full of cloud patterns and a bit of mystery.
MaryJane says: Hi Winnie, yes, it’s true. I just got back from a bike ride, snow and blizzardy winds made me pedal double-time, double-duty. Beautiful wintery Siberia-type landscape today. It’s always changing. Eye candy for sure.

Magical land of Winter. So peaceful and calm and restful.
As I get older, winter has become my least favorite season, but it sure can be beautiful!
