Winter wonderland! I love it when it snows!!

 

This was one last picture of our fun snow day last week. This one kind of makes me sad because of how different this view is in the summer time. Our fence is usually covered in morning glories and day lilies. And our yard art looks so dark here while in the summer it sparkles with all the colored glass reflecting the sun’s rays. Even the wind chimes were silent that day. I do love snowy winter days don’t get me wrong but I am ready for spring.

Snow day!!!

So last Wednesday we had a couple of inches of the fluffy stuff fall very quickly overnight. So the next day was declared an official snow day!! ( by me ) Those awesome little winter surprises that make the normally dreary and unbearably cold weather and lack of sun tolerable for at least a moment. And just as I did when I was a kid, I got all bundled up to go outside and play!! Here are some of the pictures I took.

The branches were so heavy with snow.

 

The snow weighed this tree down until it looked like a completely different tree.

One poor little branch drowning in the snow, reaching up to stay above the surface.

We are lucky to have a variety of trees around our house, like this funny little crooked one.

This made me wonder why one tree was naked and the other covered in a beautiful snowy outfit?

Hopefully these are the first of many marks that I make in the world to make it a better place through art and expression.

Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow

It snowed at my house last night. I love the snow. It blankets over the ugliness we might see during the lone winter months and makes things so uniformly white and pure. Ugly everyday things get a sparkly white coating and they become new and beautiful. Snow reminds us that a different perspective can make the everyday mundane world look amazing and breath-taking. It is all in your perspective. And it always comes back to nature for me. Nature reminds us of so many things we take for granted. Nature always speaks to me.

 

Snowing!!

 

This is a great picture of my dog Gus. I wasn’t sure if I had posted it or not. He is the most beautiful mutt I have ever seen and you can’t tell here but his eyes are two different colors. He gets so excited when there is snow on the ground. So as it is beginning to snow right now, I thought I would post one of my favorite pictures of him playing.
