Our wintery landscape

We survived round three of winter weather this weekend. It did not accumulate to a lot of snow for our area. We got around 4 inches total, but this storm brought us some beauty on the ground and on the trees. Other parts of the state were not so lucky..ending up with 2 feet or more of snow. Glad I am not a northern Virginian. 1 snowfall a year is enough for me.

I spent this morning taking some pictures of the beauty of nature which surrounds our home. Hope you enjoy!

These two logs sit on the edge of our driveway near the woods. They are quite pretty covered with snow.Below is also a shot of an area on the right side of our driveway.
Icy trees in our backyard.
Another icy tree in our side yard.
And another. I was fascinated by them. They are so beautiful.
A little tree in our side yard. I love the little balls of snow. Reminds me of the balls of snow that were on Lappy, the Lhasa Apso we had when I was growing up. He always looked like a goober when he came back inside after playing in the snow with all the dangling balls of snow hanging off of him.

Holy tree in our backyard. I hate their prickly leaves, but they are pretty covered in snow.
Young Loblolly pine trees.
And just for good measure I will throw in a shot of Cueball having a nice romp in the snow.

Hopefully by the next blog update there will be NO snow!!

More snow and that's all I have to say about that....

We ended up with about a foot of snow when the storm was done. I will let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

Winter Blues

I have been in a bit of a funk lately. Have not felt up to blogging. I just don't have much to say. Guess it is just winter blues. The temps have been cold for the last several weeks. Although the meteorologists say that it is not a record breaking winter for central Virginia, it seems to be colder than normal to me. The hounds have been going stir crazy with all the time they are spending couped up in the house. But it has been just too brutally cold out, so it is out for potty and back in. :( Hope the warmer weather comes soon. Not much of interest going on in the Ridlon abode as of late, so I will just leave you with some pictures of the latest snowfall we had.
