Sharing the snow

Its been the year of the snow so far this winter. We have had a lot, and are expecting more! There are days when I am on the fence about snow, but the reality is I love the seasons and seeing things change. 

Its even more fun exploring the new house and the surrounding area in the snow. We are finding all sorts of animal tracks!

I did not go out during the big freeze we had here in the Midwest (sorry, -20F is a bit too cold for me...and apparently our water pipes since they froze.)

However, there have been lots of warm snowy days too. (Warm, obviously, when you are bundled up and it 20F. 40 degree swing...heat wave!)

When it is snowing these great big snowflakes, everything is so still and reverent. All you can hear is the snow falling and it is one of the most peaceful experiences you can have.

Love to see the snow just coming down. You can't see it well, but there are plenty of flakes to catch in your mouth. 

Supposedly we are getting another few inches before Sunday. Something so cozy about a snowy day when you can stay inside for a bit to enjoy it. Or when you have the time to explore the world around you. 

I'm enchanted now, but in a few days/weeks, I will be awaiting the return of Aslan (and spring!) It will be interesting to see what discoveries we make when the trees and flowers start waking up.
