Much to our surprise, this is what we woke up to Sunday morning. We got zero snow last year, so this made the surprise all the more wonderful. I had a chocolate truffle making fundraiser for my kids class to work on in town, but I managed to get out in the yards and capture a few photos of the winter wonderland before I left. My son got to stay home and play in the snow, so I was greeted by a snowman in the front yard when I came home.
The snow was exciting for our family, but some of us were not so sure about the whole thing. Our cats are about 1 1/2 years old and had never seen snow before, but finally ventured out to see what it was all about.
Our yard and woods were completely transformed.
The garden was tucked in under a wintry blanket.
I must say, all of my greenery decorations looked much more snazzy with a white, snowy backdrop behind them.We could definitely use some snow more often.
I loved seeing the hazelnut orchards transformed with white canopies. It almost looked like they sprouted white leaves in the night.
Although winter wonderlands are often short lived in our area, they pack a lot of wonder into that short amount of time. Hopefully there will be more snowy days to come!
It looks lovely! We actually had our first proper snowfall today, made me feel all Christmasy. Always so pleased to see it yet equally pleased to see it leave in March. Slippery roads are a bit of a menace this time of year, but oh so beautiful the transformed landscape is! Enjoy. Pam in Norway
I am not the most confident snow driver, so the slippery roads make me relieved we don't have snow all winter. It really does make the Holidays more festive having snow on the ground though, so I will keep hoping for just a little more!
I live in west central Georgia, so we hardly ever get snow like this!! Your photos are absolutely beautiful – love the cat!! Mary Ann
Thank you! We love the cat too 🙂
I think when snow is rare in our area it makes it that much more special. Hope you get some this winter!
