3 Days Later

The snow is mostly gone, but these icicles are pretty tough.  I am sure they will be gone by the end of the day, but I must say I am impressed by their endurance.  We've had several a few big snows over the years, but I can't remember ever having icicles before...........

Happy Anniversary!

Reed's parents recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.  This marriage has produced 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren.  Wow! We met at the Cypress Inn with several members of the family.  It was simply a very nice afternoon.

More of the White Stuff

First of all, what do people that don't have to be at work until 10:00 do every morning?  I could really get spoiled by today's delayed schedule!  Reed and I rode around and checked out some of his hunting land and pasture.....Simply beautiful!

First, Reed scattered some birdseed for our birds in the

front yard.  We have been covered with birds!  I was

actually standing inside the house and took

these pictures through the glass door.

This little fellow was right outside our front door.

The creek was beautiful...

So peaceful looking...The pine trees were really gorgeous!

The road that runs through the big hayfield...

We had one little problem....The lock was frozen!  We weren't

able to get it open to take pictures of the slough or river before

I had to go to work.

More of the creek.....

I am happy to say that much of this snow did not melt today.  I know it will be gone tomorrow,

but it was simply wonderful to look at today.  Bundle up and stay warm!

Winter Wonderland

I am one of the true snow lovers of the world!!  However, lately I have come to really question if it would ever snow here again.  So many times, our snow predictions turn into nothing more than a few flakes!  Not this time though! 

This was taken about 7:30 at night.  It had been coming

down pretty good for a while, but was just

starting to stick.

Gus wasn't quite sure what to think.

I convinced Reed to take me for a ride around

8:00 to really check things out.

It was really coming down on our ride.

This was around 9:00 at night.

Right before bedtime-9:30!

Now, some morning shots....Light post in the front yard.

Neighbor's yard

Love it!!!

Wow! Below are a few more pictures of our

yard and neighborhood.

Our neighbors built this...He was really cute, but I think

he had a rough night!

The weatherman says it will be gone before lunch.  School was just delayed, not cancelled.  But right now, it is simply beautiful. 

Still Fine

Still Fine at Forty Nine!!  Happy (Late) Birthday to one of my best buds!!  Love ya!

Once upon a time.......

Lindsey and Netta

And with Caleb

Hope your day was as special as you are!!  We love you!

Uncle C

Uncle C is simply the best!  Maddie loves him and he loves her!

It was freezing outside, but after about

the 1000th time she said "outside"

Caleb obliged!

We bundled her up and off they went.

After a rather long walk, Caleb brought her

home and she refused to come in.  So,

this time Pop took her for another walk.

Caleb and Maddie also got in a little sidewalk

chalk time.  Check out C's awesome fish!

It was too cold to play on the big wheel outside, so

Uncle C found a way to make it work inside.

In between rides, they played a little airplane...

Back to the big wheel - Uncle C is the most fun!

Come on C -let's go again!

Fun was had by all!
