I'm missing some snow. I know that's silly but I really do miss it. And I know it's just December and it will snow again. But I could be living in NYC and dealing with the blizzard and between you and me, I would be just fine with that. I like the snow as I've said before.
So while I'm missing the snow I started thinking about winter in the Wild West. We had a TON of snow there. I mean tons. We had that much snow all the time. It never made the news when we had 27 inches.
I had a favorite tree in the Wild West. I should say it was the only tree in the Wild West; I was a "plains" girl so it was all flat, barren rolling land. There were very few deciduous trees where I lived and I would get homesick for trees. So I found the perfect tree one day, on a drive. It was about a quarter mile drive up a rancher's lane. It was about 18 miles from my house. I tracked down the rancher and got permission to visit the tree. He told me as long as I didn't let the cattle out or hit any, I could see it all I wanted.
So, here's a picture of my favorite tree in the winter.

I really like your tree!
I don't know where your tree was located, but my husband was in the Air Force and we were stationed in North Dakota for a couple of years, and this is kind of what it looked like there LOL.
Happy New Year!
Love the picture, but I prefer my snow to come in inches not feet.
It would be interesting to know what made this tree grow here (maybe a spring) when there isn't another one around for miles and miles. I remember visiting this tree with you! Nice photograph, BTW.
