Some Favorite Snow Days


I really miss snow. I love the days when the sun is shining and the skies are blue and there is a thick blanket of snow. My house looks like it has a coat of frosting swirled on the roof.
I love the ice cycles and the whipped snow...
I love how the snow sparkles like diamonds when the sun shines on it. I always love to see all the houses and yards covered in snow. All the yards are beautiful covered in snow...
This is the view from my deck, off of my dining room, looking across to hole 17...it's somewhere over there...
The view from my room at sunset...
Ahhh....more snow...
On New Years Day we went to Ben's parents for a party. Taylor pulled herself right up to a nice dish of pickles...
Later we went for a walk.
Taylor was mad. If you look closely at the picture below, or make it bigger by clicking on it, you can really see her little "mad" face. She wanted to walk with her grandma and she only had me for the moment.
She did not want me to take her picture...
She ran away from me, so I couldn't get a picture of her cute little face...
Later, she got over it. I pulled out my cross country skis for the first time in probably 10 years. It was a beautiful day for it.
I didn't realize there was a track for this in the field, so I kept going back and forth along the road, trying to get the hang of it again. The views were so pretty.
Ben's parent's house is over there, beyond the red building, in the trees...
I didn't go down any little hills. I was too afraid...and the roads were a little slick...
Ben came out to check on me...
I was out for less than an hour, but long enough to watch the sky change into some wonderful colors.
I love the snow covered roads...

It was amazing for me...I love being out in the snow, listening to the quiet and just enjoying the views.
Back at Ben's parent's house...
I love where Ben's mom put this picture of Taylor....too perfect.
As we were heading out, I got a picture of Taylor by one of the outside decorated trees.
Taylor absolutely loves to visit her grandparents. I do to. They live in a very beautiful place and the company is always wonderful.

Another wonderful family party.
