Let's hop in the car and take a drive, shall we? BG had been telling me about the snow geese that he had seen while out working. "I am a lineman for the county, and I drive the main roads..." Name that song. He also drives a lot of gravel roads, too, just for the record.
Back to our drive, while we're looking for the geese, we've got to have some music playing. I love to listen to the oldies station, how about you? Maybe we'll hear this tune.
First, we'll stop by a flea market where I've spotted this little table with 2 chairs. It's on the small side but it's for the family room downstairs. I have a round oak table there, but it really takes up too much room and I've had it since we were first married and I'm ready for a change. I'll think about the table and chairs later. I just thought I'd show it to you while we're in the area. Ready to head on down the road and find some snow geese? Got your camera ready?
Not a clear shot, but you can see the black-tipped wings. It was quite a sight and the line of geese on the ground stretched much further than it appears in the first photo. Let's head on down the highway and see what else we can find.
The clouds have moved on and the sun is beginning to set. I love old barns and this one really looks abandoned and lonely just off the highway in the middle of a field, but it still gets your attention with its faded red paint. Well, that's it for this little country drive, I hope you enjoyed it.
Weather report: Yes, March came in like a lion. We had some sleet and snow, but we didn't get quite the snow that was predicted. It is bitterly cold tonight as I write this with temps dropping to -15 to -25 with wind chill by morning.
Happy Monday to you! Stay safe and warm wherever you are! If you're in one of those balmy weather states or countries, we don't want to hear it. lol! Just kidding! Maybe.
Until next time...

Look! There they are...there must be thousands of Snow Geese!
Let's zoom in a little and see if we can get a better look.
A little closer...

I remember that song. What beautiful snow geese. Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaway surprise. Made my day. You are a sweet blog friend.

Did you get pooped on???
ReplyDeleteWichita linemen! A great one, it was played at a funeral I went to several years ago . . . I still cry every time now and think of Frank.
Keep warm!
Thanks for letting me join you on your drive to see the snow geese. Such a sight, I've seen some where my son lives in Denmark, but never as many as in these photos, are they getting ready to leave, or are they always there ?
ReplyDeleteThat barn looks so interesting, would you mind if I copied it to sketch & paint in water colour ?

Holy Toledo! What a lot of snow geese! I love old barns too.
ReplyDeleteAll those geese! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWe have seen some similar snow geese sightings and it certainly is awesome to see them take off and land in sequence. And yes we did get some of that storm and ice as well. Nearly everything will be shut down on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along on this drive. I loved seeing all those geese and the cute barn as well.
ReplyDeleteOh those geese are AWESOME. I'd love to see them sometime. There are SO many of them... Migrating,huh???? Sounds like it's still very cold for them to be there.
ReplyDeleteWe have had an icy/snow/COLD day here... Hopefully, this will be the Last Hoorah from Ole Man Winter. (I hope!)
Hugs,
Betsy
That was a lovely ride! Thanks for taking us along!
ReplyDeleteAnd, if you want my two cents, I'd hurry back to that flea market and buy that table. (Although my daughter tells me that I am good at spending other people's money.) :)
Wow! Those snow geese are crazy neat to see! Stay warm! xoxo Jen
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful drive. I love the snow geese. I've never seen so many in one place! And, that barn. Love it. Hope you will take me on another drive very soon.
ReplyDeleteAmazing number of snow geese Cheryl! Neat that your hubby is scouting for photo ops for you. xo
ReplyDeleteNow I'll have that song running through my head :)
ReplyDeleteLook at all those birds, and no snow :)))
Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell. I was so sad to hear that he was in the early stages of dementia. He was such a source of wonderful music when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteThose geese are amazing and so is that sweet little table. Hope you are having a great week so far- somehow I missed this post earlier- xo Diana
Well we are having alot of rain here. We were up with our daughter in Spokane this last weekend. They had about 7 inches of snow on Sunday. It was beautiful but I am waiting for spring.
ReplyDeleteLoved the snow geese pictures and the awesome barn.
You must be a little like me. I find something I like and I go home and ponder on it.
Blessings and hugs!
It feels like I’m traveling with you Cheryl! I never have seen such beautiful and crowded snow geese. Old barns reminded me of home. Beautiful and perfect shot! Clever!
