I don't remember like it was yesterday because it wasn't. It was two weeks ago. The first snowfall of the season and even 2017 hit Virginia and gave us a beautiful blanket of white of which we laid down under stuck in our house for a couple days.
I took a walk through the neighborhood because after a few days inside it really didn't matter how cold it was outside.
I found my favorite little purple berry bush with the berries still slightly pretty in a new way.
Decorations left the holiday looked even better with snow.
Child' play. It made me smile to see this angel.
The remnants of a past holiday.
A full moon and a beautiful blue sky.
Finally the cavalry arrived to clean the streets and make them acceptable for travel again!
I'm not placing any bets that this will be our one and only snowfall but if there's another I look forward to getting a few more pictures.
I really enjoyed your snow pictures and am definitely looking forward to more. I'm also looking forward to taking more snow pictures here but, alas, it's been raining and it's not likely to snow for a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteMy friend has not talked about snow in awhile up there either. Its obviously a mild winter this year.
DeleteThe idea of having snow excites me (like a kid). But as an adult, Ssnow might only give me a temporary happiness. In your area, does it snow heavily and produces thick snows?

ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't snow heavy or often where I live so it's very welcomed by kids! Where I'm from up North I got a lot of snow all winter.
DeleteOh brrr. I'm in Texas now so we don't get snow often. But before I lived in Oklahoma and Wyoming where we DID get snow. I didn't mind it most of the time, unless I had to drive in it. Then I wasn't amused.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I used to get a lot of snow living in new york city, but now that I'm in the south I rarely see snow. I loved seeing the pictures from your area.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing it. I love looking at everyone's snow pictures but prefer to definitely not drive in it.
DeleteBeautifully written, the pictures were breath taking. I'm not familiar with snow, I grew up in the Caribbean and then Florida, so I'm used to warm weathers and beaches. But I'm not saying I would trade it for snow lol but I would visit. I'm not a big fan of the cold ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved looking at your photos! Made me a little sad the holidays are over!
ReplyDeleteI just moved from CA to TN and I LOVEDDDDDD having the snow (It was only around for a few days, but I'm crossing my fingers that it comes back!)
ReplyDeleteUsually we get the big snow in Feb not Jan so I'm interested to see if we are done for the winter or not.
DeleteI'm grew up in Upstate NY and I always loved a good snow day. Our tradition was on the first snow day of the year we would make chocolate chip cookies! My daughter is thirty and now she carries on her own tradition :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm from Upstate NY (WNY) and spent my whole childhood in it. This is a different snow a dry snow for the most part or it gets a sheet of ice on it still making it impossible to play with.The first snowfall is the best!
DeleteThat snow is beautiful. It's lovely that you got to walk the neighborhood and simply enjoy its wonders. I love the snow angel u found.
ReplyDeleteAh the snow! Love your pics. The kids sure did enjoy their first snow of the year here in NC as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful snow pictures. Beautiful moments Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful?! I don't mind a week or so of snow...we usually get that annually around the holidays...but any more than that and I'm ready to pack up and vacation in Hawaii for the rest of the season! lol The snow can be so beautiful, for sure...as long as it doesn't wear out it's welcome! ;)
ReplyDeleteOmg lovely photos!!!! Snow always looks so pretty in pictures, but in real life, ughhh!!! I hate the stuff lol
ReplyDeleteI have never played in snow. It looks magical.Glad you shared the pics. Don't know whether I could last long if it snowed here though 😂
