… and then, in a couple of days … Let it melt, let it melt, let it melt.

We had more snow on Christmas Eve and early on Christmas day. It was, in fact, Lexington’s first white Christmas in something like fifteen years. By the end of this week, the weather is supposed to be rainy with temps way up in the fifties, so I’m guessing that everything will melt fully and quickly, and we’ll have a good crop of New Year’s mud.

In the meantime, a few more snow photos from the Henry Clay Estate. These are from Christmas morning.

the driveway leading to the side of the main house (the red brick building behind the trees); the building on the left, with the conical roof, is one of the original ice houses

the "keeper's cottage," which currently houses offices and a couple of meeting rooms; the "ghost" of Henry Clay in the upper window is a cardboard cutout 🙂

the formal, walled garden in the snow
