Winter is here.

I can remember many winters that come and go.  What I mean is it will snow, cover the grass, but by the next day the grass is back and the snow is gone.  This will happen many times in the same month let alone the same winter season.  There have even been winters that I have seen grass many more days than I have seen snow.

This winter is truely a winter to remember.

This picture was taken January 5 out our front door.

This is our deck out back.  Normally we don't shovel the deck but this year we have a welsh corgi puppy.  They are short, as in not tall.  Please remember this fact as you look at the rest of the pictures.  She really needed this path.

 
 

At this point we only had seven inches of 
snow.










She really likes the snow.

In our area, the snow continued to fall and do amazing things to the landscape around us.  Snow which should have fallen to the ground held tight and refused to finish its trip to the ground.

These three pictures  and the ones following were taken on January 8.  I am amazed at the amount of snow that just "hangs" in there!
I saw this cold creature trying to warm himself in our backyard, but that didn't last.  Another creature was headed his way.

Jedi's chin at this point was not quite at the level of the snow.  She had to keep her head up, but she didn't always do that.  She is young, only 12 weeks, so we will forgive her.

Her path on the back deck kept getting deeper.

 

Jedi is not the only member of the family to enjoy the abundant snowfall.  My boys gave it a go also.

My angels.

Snowball fight.

Jedi wanted to stay out with the guys a little longer, but she was having a hard time getting around (she's short remember).

We ended up with about 17 inches of snow.  And lots of great pictures.

  

 

Happy winter everyone!  May we all see grass again before July!
