winters ago we parked our cars in the carport which at the top of this rise, on the right side of this picture.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can&#8217;t really make it out through all the snow and frost covered trees, but it&#8217;s there.\u00a0 In mid winter walking up the driveway is no big deal.\u00a0 But, when the weather starts warming up and the days go above freezing, this becomes an ice rink on a slope.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_178\" style=\"width: 345px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-178\" class=\"size-full

a lot of shade onto the driveway.\u00a0 About four inches of snow has fallen since the last time Dan ran the snow plow down towards the county road.\u00a0 What I really liked about this view is how much the upper branches sparkle in the sunshine.\u00a0 They are still pretty covered with frost from the freezing fogs we are seeing every morning.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_179\" style=\"width:
