Snow, snow and more snow has hit a large part of the US and especially where we live in the Midwest. We have an agreement with a local hunter that he can hunt on the land in exchange for plowing us out every time we get more than 3 inches! As we are projected to get close to a foot of snow, we will (hopefully) see him later today. We are pretty much home bound until it stops snowing and "Mr. Chuck" comes and plows us out.
I don't have any pictures from today's snowfall but I have some photos from the snowfall we got last week. Within my last blog post, I was hoping for some snow. A few days later, we got it. Here are some of my favorite shots that J took!
J decorated the front of the house with two wreaths with big red bows to match the coop door! I loved it! He also puts multi-colored lights on one of our smaller trees.
The snow was so heavy and thick on the branches that it was difficult to get out of our driveway without the branches scraping our mini-van. Luckily, we didn't lose any branches or trees.
Here's our lilac bush and bird feeder. I most love the bright, blue sky. Lately, it has been very cloudy and grey outside.
Here's "Mima" (J's mom) pulling the sled. J, JJ, Mima and Pickle went for a walk in the woods. On this same visit, Mima made me a beautiful Christmas decoration (quilted table runner). Thank you Mima!
Even Pick-Pick took a turn pulling the sled.
J thinks of everything. He planned a hot chocolate break for a mid-walk pick me up! God, I love that man!
Better be going. Our oatmeal is almost done and the little ones are hungry. I am making them steel cut oatmeal. I highly recommend you try it: Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oatmeal: The Golden Spurtle. I follow the directions on the back- cooking for 20 minutes.
Hope you are getting to stay home on a 'snow day' as well. Our day will be filled with laundry, cleaning, eating, napping, playing outside and hopefully, getting some presents wrapped and ready for Christmas!
Stay warm!
