Winter Wonderland

Some of you may have seen my tweet from early Saturday morning:


My sweet husband was over the moon when we awoke to a few flurries Saturday morning. Me? Not so much. I was very pleased when it stopped and the day's temps grew. 
 
Later that afternoon I decided to brave the cold and take the dog on a walk. Poor life choice. This is what happened about halfway through:


The snow just started pouring down. I'm not talking about pretty, fluffy flakes either. I'm talking about the painful stuff mixed with ice. I attempted to run home, but the pelts against my face were so painful I had to stop every so often to walk backwards. I was miserable, to say the least. Daisy? Loving every minute of it. Within 10 minutes arriving home we had this:


Did I mention it wasn't even snowing when we started walking?!? David and Daisy were in hog heaven and rushed outside to play with all the neighborhood kids to play. I joined them for a bit, but this snow-hating grinch decided the warm fire was much more appealing. Here are a few photos from the afternoon:

She was born to be a Yankee dog-she LOVES the snow!

Did you get any snow??

  1. We live in Upstate SC...GO CLEMSON TIGERS!...and we didn't see even a flake. Everywhere else in the area got a couple of inches, but not at our house. I'm with you though, I Hate the snow. I like southern snow, when its here overnight and gone in the morning!

  3. We got about an inch or so, but it was gone by about 5 and the sun came out. It was cool to watch it come down all afternoon, but now I'm ready for Spring!
