More Snow?

This is what we woke up to yesterday morning...more snow!!

Made me feel at home :)
Toby lookin' back...

...deer tracks...those guys seem to be everywhere around here!

The snow was short lived, most of it was melted by the end of the day, but I enjoyed it while I could.

NC Snow Day

Well our 'big' snow storm hit us Friday night just as the weatherman predicted. We woke up Saturday mornin' to a scene right out of NH! Felt at home again, but lacked some of our usual snow tools...like a plow guy for the driveway clean up, or a snow blower, or even just an extra snow shovel. We had to improvise, we used our "Redneck Snow Blower" as you can see:(yes, that is a leaf blower, hehe.)

They braved the treacherous weather and trekked over to Beepa's.

Toby had a blast in the snow! Even though he kept sinkin' in it.

As you can see :)


Boston and Abby were able to romp around in their winter attire.


That's how much snow we got...I know I know, that's a 'dusting' up in NH...but like I've said before, this state is simply not equipped to handle it. Big lack of plow trucks. In fact, it's Sunday night now and they still haven't plowed our road! Looks like another snow day at home for everybody.


May be a pain to shovel, but snow seems to blanket over everything and make it pristine again!

Snow Day Down South

Give us a bunch of snow, leaving us stuck indoors, and a silly Santa hat, and goofy pictures ensue...

... and it looks like 'The Grinch' moved into the house!


The pets weren't too impressed with us, but we had alot of laughing! hehehe



**Snow Graffiti**

Yup, that's my sister's car under there :) she still hadn't cleaned off the snow, so, she gets to see that in the morning. :-D

I, on the other hand cleared the snow off my car, and if I didn't know any better, I would say this picture was taken up in NH...someone told us that it hadn't snowed here in NC before Christmas in over 42 years! Oops, if this keeps up the locals are gonna run us outta town, we are already being held responsible for bringing the snow and chilly New England weather with us! :-)

Winter Hasn't Left

Well, just when I thought we were gonna get away without anymore snow. Mother nature had other ideas. After rain all weekend, we woke up to about 4 inches of snow this morning. Very sticky snow I might add, it was stuck to Everything. But it was beautiful. I had to pinch myself, I thought I woke up back in NH!

Most of the state was shut down. But Mike and I aren't that lucky, no snow day for us. I didn't get any good pictures of the pretty snow because we had to leave in the dark.

The drive in to work wasn't that great. With a total of like five snowplows for the entire state (I kid). But really, they didn't plow a single road that we had to drive on, so it was that frozen, crusty, slush we had to drive in.

On the upside, Toby LOVES running through all the snow, we had fun watching him enjoy it. :-)

Our Own Frosty Crystals

We woke up this morning to a surprise. A glimpse of the north and winters past....Snow!! And it's still falling! (view from the front door)

Toby had fun exploring the outdoors in all the white stuff...

Until he got distracted and tried to get the squirrels to let him into the shed with them. They weren't havin' it, they kept him shut out...
...they just teased him. (aww, poor poor Toby)

So he made his own fun. He ran around the yard, kicking up clumps of snow in his wake. He even got to make some yellow snow!

Babbling

Today is a pretty good day. I finally got all the Christmas presents wrapped, although not under the tree (Lily thinks it's fun to chew on them). Today I get to enjoy my day with my husband on his birthday, and we get to relax and watch some football . Honestly the only game I care to see though is of course my New England Patriots, who are currently playing quite well (so far 3 touchdowns and barely in the 2nd quarter!!). But I got a little home sick as soon as I turned on the game. I saw all the snow, and it seemed totally bizarre to me that here I am in nice warm weather. This is the first time that I have watched a Pats game while it snowed there and I didn't have snow out my own window. I felt like I was a million miles away. I love watching them play in the snow, and for the first time in awhile I miss having my own snow. Guess I am just gonna have to try and visit up north next year.

And I have to just say, Happy Birthday babe!!

Do You See, What I See?

I was reminded today that Christmas is just around the corner. This wasn't by the stores, which have had Christmas stuff out for weeks and are already playing Christmas music. It wasn't by all the commercials that are on now, reminding you to start shopping either.

While washing some dishes today, I looked up and out my kitchen window. I actually stopped what I was doing, and watched in aww. I saw snow drifting every which way in my backyard!! In North Carolina, in November?! I couldn't believe it. It didn't amount to anything, in fact if I hadn't witnessed it, I would of never known it snowed at all, since there isn't a speck outside now. But it gave me an instant feeling of warmth, family, and Christmas. I hope that we get some snow down here for the holidays!!

Speaking of holidays, I better get my kiester going and rummage through my recipes, so I can make something to bring for Thanksgiving!
