By Louise FrazierThis Monday morning, Jan.6, it’s a winter wonderland in our great peaceful Dry Creek valley. As had been predicted, the rain started about 4 p.m., and by 8:30 the earth, surrounding hills and driveways were a white blanket of snow, not too deep about a 1/2 inch, other areas might have gotten more snow.The snow has shined brightly all day, and our driveway is clear. Snow remains on the fields and hills surrounding them.There are no deer jumping through the hayfield, as they are smart animals and bed down when it is cold.
