Snow Day

Tuesday was a snow day (....seems a long time ago now that we are on Friday!) and I couldn't resist the urge to don the snow boots and get out to the snow...ventured to the porch and then garden. We really only had snow and cookies to report on for Tuesdays snow day but it was fun and here are the pics of it.

In addition to those pics, I managed to get a great shot of the early morning "warning" as in Shepard's warning, red sky in the morning........... this morning and it doesn't bode well for the weekend but soup makings are in the kitchen and we are prepared. I even managed to get snow pellets to freeze stuff. It does feel after seeing that sky we are bracing.

 

But what I would say about the weather,  it has brought the child out in Isaac and he couldn't wait to get out there in the snow. So I have snow battle Royal with the brothers! on film!!!There was a casualty though, as Isaac's "dumb" phone was in his pocket...........it got snowed! Any way no one was worried as they (the boys) put it in a container with rice. Amazingly it has dried out but as we came closer to the reveal moment of would it work or wouldn't it. I had to admit (just can't keep a secret the guilt undoes me!) that I had indeed plugged it in when it was wet. Amazingly it just buzzed (or maybe that was an electric shock treatment, that I just gave the phone) well anyway the phone is working!!!! but not holding it's charge at all..........oh well I didn't really kill it. And cue the photos..................

 

Snowy garden scenes

Snow coming down hard.

Miss Beech looking lovely in white

So pretty holly

All was quiet on the street

 



My pigeon statue just perfect carrying snow

 

Ok time for the outdoors

And really another picture.........

Trudging through the snow

Ah the wonder of snow (I couldn't have made him pose like this...)

Springing into action

Now I am outside too.........

I love my bench under the tree.

 

These berries are just so red.

Battle ready!

First things first........snow angel

Yes it is an angel

And onto weapons

He is gathering in his snow.........weaponry

I just happened to look down the lane as the boys were negotiating snow ball fighting rules. It looked so amazing and snowy.

Negotiations continue

 

And we are off...

Lobbing first shot

 

Oh...I'm falling!!!!!!!!

OK now I am down.

Wind it up and let it rip!

Did I get you?

 



Take that! big brother

And that!

I'll get you yet Louie!

 OK maybe you have me down

But not out!

Round two in the snow bunker

Isaac in his lair. It was at this point that I gave up and left them to it. I think on balance Louie won!

 

But this is the shot of the day! wow happy and snowy and ready to play. Ah snow days...what fun

 

Little sparrow just caught my eye

If ever there was a Shepard's warning....this is it!

 



Oh and look a Cardinal........I was lucky getting this shot. Those winter berries sure are tasty.

 

Don't you just love Cardinals...I do.
