Snow

It snowed last night and this is the beautiful scene this morning looking out at the woods in our backyard. It was wonderful to look at the winter wonderfand, seeing someone with a red hat walking along the path. A few deer wandered through, but I didn't get my camera quick enough to take a photo. The birds have been so busy fluttering around the birdfeeders.


The scene just outside my studio door.
Bushes at our side door.


And these dear little daffodils are wondering what is happening. They are almost ready to bloom.



The best thing about snow in North Carolina is we can enjoy the beauty of it, knowing that this time tomorrow it will be gone, no shovelling, no plowing, no slush!

Winter for one day. It's perfect!

  1. I was so excited when it started to really snow last night! We got about 1 inch and the sun is out this morning. The snow sparkles like diamonds!

    We are lucky, aren't we?

  7. I took pictures about six this morning, but we continued to have snow until about two. We got about five or six inches.

    I hope the roads aren't icy in the morning.

  14. Love your pictures. It was 66 degrees today in the plains of Colorado. No snow for us:( I absolutely love the photo of the cardinal. We don't have cardinals out here, and I think they're the prettiest birds.

  16. Oh yes, winter for one day would be perfect. We however have it for a very long time and this year we are getting snow snow snow. Our temps are extremely cold also. A very good time to stay indoors and stitch and knit.
    Have a good day.

  20. Rhondi, your last sentence just made me want to pack my bags and move to North Carolina... You're absolutely right - you have the best of both worlds - the beauty of winter without any of the hassle! Enjoy that wonderful view!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
