There is nothing more magical than waking to a blanket of snow from an overnight storm. I cracked open the door and listened. There was a sweet quietness as the snow covered every horizontal surface and muted all sound.
Snow is still falling this afternoon. Although we’re living in the north where no one seems intimidated by the white stuff, schools were delayed. I imagine kids must still in their pj’s sipping hot chocolate in front of a glowing, warm fire… or either next to the glow of a warm tv. But this ‘kid’ and her dog ventured out into the storm of white.
Mattie loves a snowy day. She jumps. She runs. She eats snow. And she catches snowflakes on her tongue.
So do I….. We love a snowy day!



Skiing yet? What’s Mr. Gardener doing? Dreaming of his next woodworking project?
FINALLY! Enjoy your snow. Hope you had a cup of hot chocolate, too!
I need to send mister gardener out for cocoa and marshmallows! Thanks for the reminder.
I can tell Mattie is having fun! I bet you caught some snowflakes on your tongue, too.
Oops, I see you DID catch snowflakes on your tongue! Hope y’all stay warm.
It’s not the warmest house we’ve ever lived in or either my blood is very thin. We wear sweaters, sometime two at a time!
Thank you for the photo’s Annie. I can imagine the quiet when stepping outside while all is covered with the white stuff. Beautiful.
You should have seen me trying to get out of the driveway today in my little Prius. It’s all ice today!
Send some snow here! Susie loves it, too.
It brings out the puppy in dogs and the child in me!
Makes me hanker for a moonlit, silent snow scene – but then I think about the cold… Florida for me, even tho our old dog is loving this sudden cold Ware Neck snap.
Listen to your dog. She knows best!
It does look beautiful and inviting! I wish I could run all around out there and make a million angels.
It’s a chilly 65 degrees in San Diego and promise of a big rain storm. I see lots of grey clouds but no rain yet.
65˚ is chilly? We had zero last night. Right now it’s 6˚. Brrrrr! No more snow angels. The snow has turned into a blanket of ICE.
Love the photo of Mattie! She is adorable.
She’s slowly adjusting to life indoors. We know she is bored with us.
Today in Virginia we had 60 degree weather. The other day it was freezing Today, I saw my first daffodil in bloom. Old Man Winter seems to be fighting with Mother Nature and losing!
Hope there’ll be a few daffodils coming up for the Daffodil Show in March!
Gosh, what have we missed. Sitting on a boat in swimming pool colored water of the Florida Keys with a Rum Runner, looking at the world’s largest sunset at the Starboard, and the world’s largest full moon at the Port, and darn, you get that beautiful white snow.
Hey, we are back in Virginny now, and our day will come!!
I love this site. Can’t wait to see what Spring brings there.
Don’t rub it in! We are hearty pioneers up here in the land of ice and snow.
