More Snow Pictures

As promised, here are some more pictures from our  awesome snow a couple of weeks ago. Ironically, as of right now we are supposed to get more snow tonight and tomorrow! Ever since the day after it snowed last time I thought that Spring was in full swing for sure--the daffodils are all in bloom and the birds have been ecstatically singing in the trees. I love snow, so I am excited about the chance to have more, but I do feel bad for all of the little plants and creatures who are in "Spring-Mode".

Anyhow, on to the pictures! =)

He was really excited about the snow! =)

Studying it.

He was a bit concerned at first when it landed on his hands.

Having fun!

Then he wanted to bring some to me. =)

I think he was saying something about the snow on the tree bark.

Peanut Butter Cup in the snow! =)

It was our first daffodil of the season.

Our Jeep. I had to get a picture of it in the snow for my hubby. =p

Rosy cheeks!

He wanted to knock the snow off of the fence.

These next ones are from Monday morning (the day after it snowed).

As I said at the end of my last snow picture post--he has an addiction to eating snow. :-/

 

Always so serious!

He looks like he is getting ready to chuck that snow at someone, ha ha.

It was such a pretty day!

Though I wouldn't have minded if it had still been snowing. =p

This is Peanut Butter Cup's current idea of what "smile" means. =D

Snow--YUM! =p

I love my Munchkin!

His first Snowman!!! =)

Winter Wonderland!

This winter has been so mild I was beginning to wonder if the Munchkin and I would get any of the snow that I had been waiting for for so long. We got a little bit back in January--which we definitely made the most of--and enjoyed immensely! However, that snow had come and gone in a matter of a few hours, so I had been hoping for something a bit more substantial and longer lasting. =) As of Sunday afternoon, my prayers were answered! It started snowing here sometime around 12/12:30 and didn't stop until around midnight. When I measured the depth of the snow on my front deck the next morning we had 4 1/2 beautiful, glorious inches of snow! It promptly started melting as soon as the sun came up Monday morning, but Peanut Butter Cup and I definitely made the most of it while it lasted! He seems to love the snow as much as his daddy and I do, so the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. ;)

Anyhow, here are some pictures of our beautiful Winter Wonderland! Enjoy!

Munchkin decided to wake up before 7am, so I hurried outside and snapped a few pictures since the sun was rising and everything was just so incredibly pretty!

 This is looking from the front deck toward the road (which is beyond the horse pasture and the trees beyond it).

This is looking straight out from the front deck.

 

This is part of the backyard--the snow was so lovely and undisturbed (though you can see where the snow had filled in our footprints from the night before, ha ha!). . .it was covered in footprints a couple of hours later. = p  We had a BLAST!

I love this tree (along with the huge oak out front!)!

Behind our backyard.

The back right corner of our backyard.

The sunrise was reflecting off of the snow in these trees--it was so beautiful!

Looking towards the back of the house.

I was so excited about the snow--I took over 700 pictures within an 18 hour time-frame.

Looking toward the Shop and the barn (isn't the barn adorable?).

Beyond the main horse pasture.

The top of the tree that is in front of the house as seen from the backyard.

 The way the sunrise was reflecting off of the snow while I was out feeding Sasha (who will be the subject of another post!) was so beautiful--I felt blessed to be able to see witness it.

After breakfast we headed down the driveway like we always do to take our letter to Daddy up to the mailbox.

 Part of the driveway looking toward the road.

I love snow covered branches!!

 It was still pretty early in the morning so the sunlight was still making everything look magical!

Our mailbox--ready and waiting for the mail-lady to come and pick up the letter to my Beloved!

 Sooooo, I didn't mean to, but I apparently started Munchkin on a snow-eating addiction. Ooops.

More to come later. . . . Hope you enjoyed them! I love snow (as you can probably tell!) and was BEYOND thrilled when I first realized that it was really, truly snowing.

What about you? Do you enjoy the snow and wintertime in general--or do you prefer a different season?
