Remember how much fun sledding is?

Here in VA we dont often have enough snow for sledding. In fact, the past several years the snows have been only 4-6 inches deep.
This snowfall was perfect.

The kids were home for the holidays and got the sleds and toboggan out.

You really cant think of any troubles when you are busy trying to stay on a sled as it slips slides down the hill.

Maybe it is time to get the sled out again and enjoy an afternoon of sledding!

Sun Kissed Snow

The last rays of light hit the newly fallen snow.

Snow Advice from a JRT

Wear your coat if you weigh under 15 pounds and it is snowing hard.


Stick to the plowed roads

If you must run, run under the trees, less snow is better when you are under 12 inches.

If you get stuck in the deep snow, keep plugging along till the human comes to the rescue .

Snow Walk Photos

Over 12 inches now and quite the winter wonderland. We donned all the winter gear, left short little Molly behind and trudged out to see.

Terry titled this one snow stalagtites.

Beautiful, bountiful food for the birds, invasive honeysuckle shrubs.

Our creek road. I hope you enjoy the winter wonderland today.

Suddenly Snow!

Yesterday, the snow came down. Within a couple of hours we had over three inches. I looked out the window and saw how the snow coated

the sweet gum leaves still clinging to the branches.

Later when we turned on the Christmas lights, we were greeted by flocked trees light from under the snow.

Shenandoah Snow!

Sometimes we forget to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. Day to day problems and issues keep us from looking around.
Once in a while we look up from our desks and are rewarded with an incredible vision of beauty.

Suddenly Snow!
