This week was all about SNOW. I don’t remember it snowing twice in one week in forever. It was a week of us being so excited about snow. We have gotten none all winter. I see Instagram pictures all the time with beautiful snow and have wanted some so badly. And I got it!
It started snowing Monday on the way home from Co-op. Just a few flakes and by the time we were home, nada. But the forecast was for snow during the night. When we woke up Tuesday morning we had about 2″. Keilee and I bundled up and took Nomad out. We all had a blast playing in the snow. Trey, one of Keilee’s really great friends, came over and spent about 7 hours with Keilee. They played outside and took a walk and watched movies and talked and talked. Then she introduced him to World of Warcraft and he played my character for about 2 hours. They had a blast!
By afternoon Tuesday it was all gone. But another system was headed our way! All Tuesday night and Wednesday morning I kept getting “Winter Storm Warning” updates on my phone. We waited impatiently all day Wednesday and finally about 3:00 PM it started snowing. HUGE flakes and it was like a blizzard. I was so excited!!! By 8:00 it was a winter wonderland. I know to so many of you this is not a big deal but to us it was HUGE!!! It rarely snows more than a dusting around here. Keilee and I went outside at night and it was magical. It was quiet and still and so incredibly beautiful. Some of these are from our house and some are from my Brothers.
There is something about being outside at night when it is snowing that is just unbelievable.
After we got up Thursday we measured and we had 5″. My brother had 7″ and some areas around us had 8″.
It was a lovely, snow filled week. And now we are ready for spring!
One of my favorite pictures! She was throwing it at ME!
Homeschool Rocks!

“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?” ~J. B. Priestley

I love that you got so much snow and took such joy in it! Beautiful pictures!!
Snow does make everything look so beautiful, but after having at least 12 inches on the ground from December to March it starts to get ugly!
Love all the pics. You’ve got me wishing for snow – except it is currently summer here!
I am so jealous of the snow – not that I want to shovel it – but we would love to sled or build a snowman.
Still no snow here in England so I’m lapping up your gorgeous photos! I’ve never seen such artistic snow-angels! 😀 I hope you two are having a wonderful weekend.
Congrats on finally getting some snow. I’m still not tired of it. You have such wonderful snow pictures too. It looks like Keilee had a blast in the snow too.
I am so glad you all got snow! We loved getting snow here too. It is totally magical at night when it is snowing.
Blessings, Dawn
I like the picture of the snowball coming at you. Did she get you? I also like the bird feeder, with the icicles it looks like a carousel.
This is the second post today that has reminded me of Christmas in New England. That is where my parents are from originally. The walking in the silence of a fresh snow. That takes me back to my childhood and visiting Grandparents.
I love the picture of the snowball coming at you. All of your pictures are beautiful. I noticed last night when I went out at about 11:00 to get wood for the fire that the moon was so bright you could see everything outside. With the cold air, bright full moon, and the stars in the sky it was very beautiful. Thank you so much for praying for Grace. She is feeling so much better. It has been about five weeks now on the new medications and no bouts of nausea or vomiting since starting them. Finally looking better on that front. It has been such a blessing to just get up in the morning and now that it is going to be a good day physically and not worrying about when the next bout of sickness is coming. Have a great weekend and Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
Blessings

Those are some incredible pictures!! What is better than a week of snow? You know, my boys won’-t even go out in it?!
WOW – I can’t believe the ice on the bird feeder! That’s crazy! Keep warm & drive safe!!
We had the best time this week in the snow too! The first day it snowed was the perfect snow day. We got some ice later on too, but we had an awesome week!
So this time the snowy weather didn’t miss you, did it? I am so glad you weren’t hit with ice like we were here in ATL — looks like you had more fun that we did! And yes, there is something magical about it snowing at night!
Hugs, Karen!
