First Day of Spring (?)

Tom and I took a quick trip up to McCall, 

where we have two vacation rentals.

It was a good time to check on them.

McCall has had a record breaking snow fall, 

this year.

The ride up was so beautiful.

Cold but sunny!

My heart always starts to pound and 

beats faster, when I see this sign.

I love it here!!

This is the entry walkway to the front door 

of The Thomas, one of the homes.

Look at all that snow!

This is the view from inside 

The Christine, the other home.

 A huge snow pile.

Our neighbors don't mind all the snow.

We drove around the town to look at all the snow.

As you can see, the roads were bare and dry!

But the piles of snow made for some interesting

pictures.

This is the same house above and below.

It's buried in 5 ft. of snow or more!

This poor, cute house, had all the snow slide off
it's roof and landed in the front yard.
Good thing they have a covered front porch!

Snow plows don't mind where 

they put all the snow.

This house has it's view blocked by a pile of snow.

The next set of pictures are the same,

only I cropped and put a red arrow on one.

This is the frozen Payette Lake.

Beautiful!

Look closely and you can see a man and two dogs.

(don't worry if you can't. I couldn't either)

This picture below should help find them. 

Here I blew up and cropped the picture.

Yup! A man and two dogs!

On the way home it was interesting to 

see all the equipment that 

the farmers used, all snowed in, 

just waiting for the  snow to thaw

Tractors...

Sprinklers...

Cattle herding pens...




Once down from the mountains,

it was more like...

The First Day of Spring!
