Winter...

Winter is here!!! We had a big snow storm a few nights ago. It was fun to watch the huge snowflakes fall. Not so fun to drive home on I-15 in the middle of a huge blizzard. So grateful that we made it home safe on Saturday night.

This place never ceases to amaze me. The pioneer house looks so good in whatever season is upon her (can a house be a gender?)...


My garden covered in snow...




I'm not sure how many inches fell, but it was a lot!


Poor apple tree with it's weighed down branches.


I love this walnut tree. I'm glad that we were able to get the leaves all raked up before the snow fell. The day before the storm we spent the day outside raking, putting things away, covering up my husband's duck hunting boat. So glad that we did all that!


And last but not least, the first snowman of the season!


Now all I want to do is curl up under a warm quilt and knit...
