Plowing the Driveway~~
Way to cold for the Diesel Tractor to start up on its own this morning... so it need a jump from my Pilot.
We really, really need an angle blade for the back of the tractor. Some day we will be able to afford one.
Until then.. we use the bucket.
Pulling the snow backwards is easier on this wee tractor.
It won't be perfect, but a lot easier for DH to get his car out the drive, now.

We have snow ~
OK.... so I measured the snow. 8 1/2" deep.
Most snow I have seen here, since moving to this place.
Had to go take photos of some of the animals
Of course in the area of Oregon we used to live...we had a lot more snow.
So it was nice to see this.
Everyone is in the same pasture right now...since it is the only one I can get a heated water tank to.
Granted the animals wanted me to stop taking photos and feed them..and Dyfra had to tell me how bored she was and that I should get their hay...now!
they put them too close to the roof line...
If we ever have Ice or heavy snow, they will get ripped right off.

Sky lights on the hen house, that were "repaired" leak too, so I need to some how find the money and someone that knows what they are doing to fix it, before the roof is damaged.
Goats are not thrilled....
Wonderful day at the Fine Art Museum~
I had originally planned to have a Birthday lunch on the 14th... sadly, they were booked full.. both on the 14th and 15th...
So on the 16th...
We headed out to the Fine Art Museum fairly early, since there was going to be snow.
This area comes to a stand still with any kind of bad weather.
So we walked around the museum, seeing new collections.
Loved this Stain glass Dog Wood window.

Beautiful Marble Garden from India.
Some beautiful paintings, made sure to use No flash,
as I did not want to damage the paintings.
Stunning Tiffany lamps! The workmanship was incredible.
After enjoying the museum,we went to the top floor to have lunch at the restaurant.
About half way through, tiny bits of snow started falling.
Took our time eating and enjoying the day, once we were finished we headed home.

National Gallery of Fine Art in DC ~
Went to the National Gallery in DC yesterday...
holy grief... if you have Menieres,
bring noise cancelling head phones. Is very loud.
Not a bad Gallery..
Glad they had wheel chairs... won't of been able to see it all, without one.
(though a scooter would be a lot nicer)
One very cool thing I saw, Leonardo da Vinci,
Ginevra de' Benci painting.
Is the only da Vinvci painting in the USA.
You can see the painting on This Link.
Did not take a photo of it, because it is so old. But here are some photos,, of other things we saw.

Was a long day but worth it.
Also ended up with some free parking in a handicapped spot, very close to the museum.
Allowed me to walk a little longer, before needing a wheel chair.
