Snow days!
Snow! In it's many wraps!
With the heat of summer pushing on us right now...snow in it's many get-ups is just a mere memory...
Beauty!
The beauty of nature only emphazised by snow and ice particles...Pine cones dressed in creamy white...
The Teasel is prancing about in snow-white

Still more beauty!
Have you ever just sat outside in the quiet of an early winter morning when the snow insulated and muffled all the noises?
-------------------------------------------------
Did you feel the serene calm that enclosed all around you...and it let you fill your lungs with clean crisp air to their full capacity?
-------------------------------------------------
Snow-days!
This day was cancelled due to lack of interest...(in snow shoveling that is) only fun activities were allowed with hot-chocolate for the kiddies and hot toddies for me... with the temptation of winter hibernation plainly in sight...

The most welcomed sight after the what seemed to be the longest of long winter seasons...
True harbingers of Spring the little snow drops are one of the first flowers to brave the still frigid cold just to give us hope that soon there will be many more flowers, warmth in the sun...

Hope for dandelions throughout the lawn... hope for days when you just finished cutting the lawn and you'll have to turn around and start all over again... hope that it will be too hot again to even move a muscle... bugs... mosquitoes... and
