The novelty of this will wear off soon enough ...
but waking up to nine inches of new snow this morning was a nice surprise.
Pinecones snuggled under a blanket on a golden larch tree.
Wild apples that will become snacks for the deer and rabbits.
The woodpile that doubles as housing for any number of chipmunks.
As for me, I'm off to shovel, and then to work, but I'll be looking forward all day to coming home to our winter wonderland.
What beautiful pictures!
(but I'm glad it's you guys.) :)
(our time will come...I'm in WI.)

It is as pretty as a picture. I'm glad this picture was taken in your yard and not mine. It's below freezing here and I'm cold. I think it will be a long winter.

Beautiful! You sure have a lot of snow!! I especially love the photo of the snow on the apples. We get a lot of snow in Michigan also, but we don't have that much yet.

I'm so jealous of your snow! Here in South West Missouri we don't get hardly any snow at all. It's so beautiful!

Oh, how pretty that snow looks with the blue sky. We rarely get snow so I will enjoy your pictures while dreaming of a white Christmas.

The pictures you took are gorgeous! The first snowfall is always fun & beautiful, after that it becomes a chore.

How beautiful! I think I could gazed at your photos all day. I miss those snowy white days. I moved to Alaska just after I was married. Lived there for 2.5 years. It was amazing. Enjoy the snow for me... we dont get much of anything in Dallas. xoxo, Joanna
