We woke up to a Winter Wonderland yesterday, 3 fluffy inches of freshly fallen snow! The first thing Hubby does is go up to get the newspaper and the fussing started. We are a mixed marriage, I'm a snow lover and he's not! I blame it on him living in Florida as a child. Robbed of being able to build a snowman or make snow ice cream has made him somewhat of a "Cold Weather Grinch."
How could anyone not love the beauty of this sparkling cold stuff? Big, wet flakes hit you in the face and melt upon impact. It even smells delicious, all piney and fresh...
It's early and it was very overcast, so 6:30 looked like it was nighttime!
Our paper lady is so dedicated, she never misses us. We have a place under the mailbox to keep packages or our newspaper dry and safe from the thieving raccoons. They will steal you blind, ya know!
Snow amplifies the quietness of the woods, not a sound to be heard.
No one else was braving the cold just for a newspaper!
The birdfeeder was still unoccupied this early, but we filled it twice yesterday. The birds and squirrels are so hungry when it's cold. I will need to check the suet blocks tomorrow and replace them if they are getting low.
We are in for a week of snowy weather, more expected on Thursday with lows in the single digits this week. It's "Stay Home" weather for me, that's the real reason I love it!
13* here this AM...but no snow!!
ReplyDeleteStill have about 6" on the ground.....i love it, too...he..he...he!!
Enjoy....LindaMay
Yikes! Thank goodness I'm in the middle of the state where the 'line is drawn' and get more of the water instead of the flake. I'm on your hubs team.. by the way.. did he take these pix or you my dear.. if he did.. what a brave man indeed. That would be like facing crocs in the glades ..
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way.. good morning!
with love,

Love the snow, but only when I don't need to go anywhere or shovel the sidewalks. I had to do A LOT of that while we were in Germany...
ReplyDeleteLove the snow and love your music!
ReplyDeleteWe have the beauty also, and is still falling...I love it...been out walking in it already today...we should get together and build a snowman/ha
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, but I must admit that I think like your husband - don't like the cold, wet, stuff. So good that you can enjoy it. I'm getting a vision of you in fuzzy slippers and sweats - I like that part of the winter.
ReplyDeletePut me down in the "Love-It" column! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - - - LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteDoes your hubby have a snow blower? That has CURED my hubby of his snowy day grumps. Now he can don his arctic gear and go out and play with his gasoline powered toy, and that makes him a happy camper.
As a refugee from sunny Southern California, I *love* the white stuff--but only when I don't have to drive 20 miles in it to get to work. Luckily I've bequeathed that pleasure to my children for the moment!
ReplyDeleteThere is NOTHING like the silence of a snowstorm. It's magic. Enjoy.
JUST BEAUTIFUL...I LOVE IT TOO! SOME PRETTY SHOTS HERE, HOME IS LOVELY TOO. WE STILL HAVE NO SNOW, IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks beautiful. It almost NEVEW snow in South Texas.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

It's a huge reality in my neck of the woods...
Enjoying scrolling through your blog and getting to know you...Happy 2010...and all it brings,
xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Syop over anytime ...love to have you.
I LOVE snow, being from Canada and all :) Enjoy making snow angels!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery you had there Joy!! I love the snow when it has first fallen. I used to love going out at night in the winter if there was fresh snow falling. Used to make a lot of angels..LOL It's hard to breathe when it's real cold now though. But I don't go out much in the winter.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are a bit like a visual tone poem. They are really lovely, Joyce. Enjoy the snow :-).
ReplyDeleteNot LOVE it or HATE it here......
ReplyDeleteI MISS it!!! LOL
Sorry, but I have to agree with your husband. :) They say we are going to get some of the dreaded white stuff late tomorrow night and Thurs. and single number temps Fr. & Sat. nights. I need at least 75 degrees. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading along. Hope I don't get to boring for you.
It depends - do I have to shovel it and get out in it or can I just watch it , read a book, and sip my tea?

I'm so jealous! It is a balmy 37 degrees here. Love your house. It looks very Thomas Kincaidish in the snow.
ReplyDeleteNice to "meet" you, thanks for following my blog. I'm trying to follow you back, but for some reason my computer isn't letting me. Will keep trying.
God Bless,
Jackie
Just beautiful Joycee! It looks like a fairytale :D
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. I've been waiting for these for a very long time.
