We are in the middle of a snow storm. Two hours ago it looked as though it was slowing down, so I took my measuring stick out and sampled a few areas. 16 inches of snow on the ground. And then? It started snowing like crazy again.
At 4PM, this is what the chicken coop looked like.
And it’s still snowing. *sigh* But look at all these gorgeous snow flakes.
I am in awe of these beautiful flakes.
They look like those paper snow flakes all children cut out in the winter.
The detail is exquisite, and simply amazing.
These pictures aren’t the best, but I hope you can see how awesomely beautiful these snowflakes are.
I had dark gloves on, so I laid them on the steps and just snapped some pictures as the snowflakes landed on them.
So very, very pretty. They take my breath away.
I usually don’t care for cold weather or snow. I’m not sure that’s changed much. But there are two things I wouldn’t give a million dollars for today – watching the pups play and romp in the snow, and finding all those gorgeous snowflakes. I almost cried watching them land. Their beauty was awe inspiring.
And, since it really is that time of year, look at this gorgeous wreath:
That’s Nancy, Debra’s (my sister) best friend from childhood. They all came up for a visit last weekend. Debra and Nancy brought everything necessary to make this wreath. The three of us put it together, and now it’s hanging by the woodburning stove.
No sense hanging a wreath outside on the homestead. Not many people wander into the middle of these woods. And I like having it inside where we can enjoy it.
So, it’s officially winter and it’s officially the Christmas holiday – even though my calendar tells me different 
I hope each of you enjoys the season! We’re making the best of it on the homestead!
