Lower College Neighborhood 9:38AM Sunday Morning
For the local skeptics among us I would note that the neighborhood streets had been plowed at least once by Sunday morning. Actually, the few e-mails and calls I received about the snow removal this time was rather complementary. Kudos to City staff for their hard work. I believe another factor in getting through this latest storm was that most residents seemed happy to be able to spend some time with family rather than being stressed out trying to battle the traffic and 19+ inches of snow to get that last minute Christmas shopping in.

307 Lewis Street--The Jane Beale House
A beautiful and peaceful scene today under freshly fallen snow. In December 11, 1862. Mrs. Jane Beale and her family were in the basement of this house during the Union bombardment of Fredericksburg. A shell would hit the bottom of the basement window on the right side of the house which dislodges a piece of wood which wounds her young son.

Taking A Stroll Down Princess Anne Street
A typical sidewalk scene in downtown Fredericksburg covered in a not so typical 12" of snow.

Once Upon A Time.......
This now snow covered path going towards George Street was known as Free Alley. What remains of this pathway was once the only place were slaves could freely travel to town without a pass.

A Moment of Contemplation

"I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree or yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines."
Henry David Thoreau

Untrampled snow has a way of uplifting any scene and bringing a sense of serenity. I am researching some of those buried here at the Confederate Cemetery. In doing so they are becoming old acquaintances whom I wish I could have had the opportunity to chat with, about nothing in particular, over a beer or two.

We Can Do This..........
Hazel Run after the snow. Please note the incline to the left. This was the easy part. I think it was the forth fall or the second tree I slid into before I realized my inner child was full of it. Yet even this realization did stop me from taking on his next challenge. Nice picture though.

Follow Those Deer Tracks.....Destination Unknown
After following the deer tracks for awhile I was getting tired of thorns and branches in my hands, face and legs so I deviated from the tracks to what I thought looked like a little less hazardous route. I found myself having to doubling back to where I had left the deer tracks. It took a few times before the lesson sank in--Deer are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. If I had been a little bit smarter I would have gone back the way I came.
