Solid Blue Skies + Red Barns + White Snow = Beautiful Scenes

We finally got a "real" snow last Tuesday night, March 5th. These pictures were taken on my ride home from school on Friday, and as you can see the snow was melting quickly because of the warm temperatures. Still, LOTS of our county was without power up until last night...5 miserable days. The "Y" was opened at 5AM on Friday so the teachers could go there to take showers before work. We were some of the fortunate ones who got our power back within a reasonable time. I may have shot this barn a year or so ago, but it was without snow and not from these angles. I was actually able to pull off the road to take the pictures, and they are SOOC with my Canon Point and Shoot. These are the kids of views we will no longer have when they close our beautiful country school on May 30. So sad.

# 4 and #5...Has a sheep wondered outside the fencing? Or is that a big rock on the right side of the roadway pretending to BAAA?

Beautiful pictures. I thought you had alot of snow this year......no?
I got your package today. The bunnies are adorable. I love the white bunnies the most. This is the cutest swap ever. Can't wait to start mailing. Still only half in. But I can start assembling since only five go out a time.

Genie, the views are beautiful...nice that they opened the Y for teachers to shower.

I am so sad for you that your school is closing. It is truly the end of an era.

Why are they closing your school? That's terribly sad, I'm so sorry! Too many closings in this country & it's really getting scary!
The farm is very beautiful, esp that big ol barn & I'm lovin all those windows! Very cool

So glad you joined =)

Beautiful blue skies! I think I've forgotten what that looks like. It's a shame to lose the small schools, but it does cut costs.

The countryside looks so beautiful brushed with snow! And the red of the barn looks dramatic in contrast with the white! All so very lovely!
