We are in the middle of this week's second snowstorm.
The first storm was quite pretty. 


This one?  Not so much.

That's so beautiful, Terry! I'm jealous :) I can't believe I actually said that, lol.

We still have green grass. Sorry. I don't look forward to our first heavy snow...spoiled now.

That first picture made me say "brrrr..." It's the kind of view that makes me glad to be inside (even though it's 64 degrees here today)!

That almost makes me wish we had more snow for Christmas! ( Note: I said "ALMOST")

Dreaming said...

We STILL have snow falling...even though the weather map shows the storm being gone!
It is beautiful...it is perfect for Christmas, but it does make life a bit harder!
Merry Christmas to all of you!

I feel your pain. It is still snowing here. Makes it hard to finish getting ready for Christmas. The view is pretty till you have to get out in it and get your work done. I do like the round sled idea though. Stay warm and have a Merry Christmas!!

Wow! Well at least it looks like Christmas somewhere! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

Ruth said...

Wow!! Just in time for Christmas.

Too much snow! We haven't gotten a millimeter of precipitation this month... it's a very desert Christmas out here. Not that I want to trade!

So pretty! What temps do you have? We are at -14F tonight and I think still dropping-but no (wind) yet (said in a whisper so that I don't wake the wind gods!) so it feels like 40F! Was your herd full of cold weather spunkitude? Sending warm sunny non windy thoughts down south :)

Hiya Terry!!
WOWEE*** that sure looks Cold! Yes it is beautiful when one may still function somwhat normally...but when nature threatens to shut the place down it becomes rather tiresome to keep things up and running like your gorgeous ranch.

I know you all- know the drills and I am praying that you have reserves again, for the work and safetly are able to comply with the needs- each moment!

Hang in and cozy by a fire when you can..supping delicious freindships and love from family.

Merry Chrsitmas..and a toally white one at that!
XOXO

Bet the air is fresh!!! What more do we need!
Nice warm clothes, that's what! lol

It looks like we won't have a white Christmas in Toronto after all -- certainly nothing like this, so your pictures help make up for it. Thanks!

I love big, fresh, untouched snow, layers of snow lining tree branches (ice is even cooler!). And that hazy sun is cool too. There's something very mystical about this winter scene.

And dragging a garbage bin on a sled through the snow? That's brilliant! I guess in the country, you do what you have to survive. Ha ha.

pinkglitterfae said...

your photos are lovely! Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a blessed holiday season
xoxo

My niece and her DH got stuck in a emergency shelter coming down for the holidays in that snow storm. Thankfully all worked out and they were safe and still made the holidays :O)with us.
