If the 12th Day of Christmas is Epiphany then yesterday was the 13th Day of Christmas. What could possibly follow the gift of twelve drummers drumming? Well, it ain’t thirteen snow-covered rooftops, so don’t be misled by the photos in this post.
The gift I received was another downfall (recall my tumble down the stairs on Christmas Day) and this time it occurred outdoors complements of our ice-glazed driveway. Never mind the fact that I was out there skittering around on the ice attempting to accomplish something as nonessential as photographing the fascinating snowy rooftops of various farm buildings. A humbling crash landing was called for, apparently. Down we went, camera and I, with said camera somehow surviving unscathed.
Fortunately this time I managed to fall forwards in order to sensibly balance out the Christmas Day mishap which insulted my backside. Now I can boast a deltoid and triceps which protest heartily when partaking in such essential activities as scrubbing a pan or pressing a soap dispenser or maneuvering a heavy anatomy textbook from the bookshelf.
Beware of the 13th Day of Christmas!

Jeanelle I do hope you are okay? Your photos are great, but be safe out there on that slick, unforgiving ground!
(((Hugs)))to you! (and I won't squeeze to hard cause I don't want to hurt your arm anymore that it already is!)
Falling is so hard on the body.. You need to invest in a pair of Yak Traks , I have a pair and boy are they a lifesaver. You strap them onto your shoes/boots and they have these springy springs that are under your shoes/boots and they keep you from slipping on the ice/snow.. They have kept me from falling many many times.

Yow! Sorry you took a tumble! Hope your muscles will soon be less painful. The snowy roofs are wonderful, and made very interesting photographic studies. Take care. XO
