A Pretty Enough Snowfall

The comments to yesterday's post really surprised me. Apparently, 'passel' is used pretty widely in a large part of the USA. It's a small sample size, but I think eastern Canada, northeast USA, and the west coasts of both countries don't use it a lot, and as I said recently, I sure haven't heard it much, if ever, apart from Dad.

===================

Two days ago, there wasn't a major storm, but there was enough snow to bring out the town plows and the driveway blower-people. It also stuck on the fir trees just enough to prettify the park on our walk.

Below, we had walked the path from the top of the frame to where Sue took this photo (she took all photos in this post). It might look a bit problematic for an old guy with a cane, but it was soft and wasn't difficult at all, and the aesthetics were worth any inconvenience.

While I am here, I might as well also drop two photos of our next stroll — yesterday's walk — when  we drove to the bridge trail for a bit of variety.

Sue wishes she had a red coat because her grey coat didn't stand out on this dull day in her attempt at her daily photo. After much fiddling, I was able to turn it red in Photoshop. I've done it before but not for a long time, so I had to figure out some sort of method. The trick was to turn it red but still retain the texture of the coat. I did my best.

We do a loop on the trail to take us back to the car. Sue took a photo after I had passed under the old railway bridge when I looked back to see what she was up to.
