Just A Few More Snow Pics

The temperature is hopefully going to warm up a bit today, and just maybe we can say good-bye to all this snow…

My hubby was awesome and cleaned off the cars for us yesterday, and the kiddos and I did venture out last evening. I thought we had better check out the roads on the school route, just in case they were in bad shape. The roads were great, and so far school is still on for today.

Even though the snow is pretty, I’m really ready for Spring to get here already.

Oh The Snow

0071

I kept hoping for a break in the weather yesterday, but the snow just didn’t cooperate. It kept falling late into the night.

At the moment the snow has tapered off, but there looks like a chance for more. School is supposed to be back in session tomorrow, but I don’t know if the roads will be all clear in time.

Down Come The Flowers

0021

This was yesterday, bright, beautiful, 70 degrees, and the sun was shining…

004

The Daffodils were in bloom all the way up to the front steps.

012

But there in the blue skies, was an unhappy sight…

011

That is one big bad snow and ice storm headed our way.

007

The temperature was rapidly dropping, so I went inside to grab my scissors, and cut down the daffodils before the snow got them…

I gathered a big bowl, and went out bare-foot, so I could enjoy the cool Spring grass between my toes for just a moment, and I snipped them all. I lost all of my flowers last year to a late snow storm in April, it just made me too sad to see them go again.

014

I made three big bouquets to decorate the house with, so at least there is a little Spring indoors.

And here it is, the view from today. The ice hit late last night, and the snow is still falling…

So much for a warm Spring Day.

Kicking Off The Holiday Season

Every year we like to attend the local Christmas Parade, no matter what the weather is.

016

This year the weather was cold, but luckily it wasn’t snowing during the parade.

020

We met up with my best friend Stacey, and her kiddos.

024

Our kiddos sat together, and waited patiently for the parade to begin.

There were lots of floats, but me and my trusty camera were having lighting issues, so I didn’t get as many pictures as I had wanted too.

The Christmas Parade was a ton of fun, and all of the kids came home with a bunch of candy too.  The kids are definitely ready for Christmas to get here.
