The snow is still on the ground

 This is the path from our complex out to the river. The administrative staff has cleared it a bit but it is still covered with ice and snow.

 My apartment is on the second floor at the corner of the building. We have a southern exposure so we have the warmest apartment on the floor.

 Here is my apartment from the side. The balcony is beside the kitchen and dining areas. We used to have flowers in the area next to the dining table but gave them up a few years ago when we were away and they all died from lack of water. The area next to the kitchen is where we keep the trash until it is time to take it out for collection.

 This is the river. The snow clouds in the distance are completely covering the mountains.

 This is the front, public entrance to my building.

 This is a cherry tree along the river.

Snow covered leaves in back of our building.
