Frozen Tundra on the Prairie of Minnesota January 2009~

Farm house in winter~ after I took this picture walked along the huge frozen drift that is in our yard~ can't tell in these pictures how far off the ground I am walking on the drift~


Snow pile by the barn~ Perfect for King of the Mountain~!


Huge snowpile by the machine shed~ this is one of 4 huge piles of snow~ I'm thankful we have a tractor with huge loader bucket and a large 4 auger snowblower.


This is the huge drift I must face going up and down our driveway, the least bit of wind and we are snowbound once again~!


Frozen tundra~ winter landscape view west of our home looking across the road~ the land is resting in preparation for spring planting~
