Birthday Blizzard




We're in the middle of a blizzard here in the woods, on today, my brithday. We had about 1 foot of snow overnight and should get another foot on top of that today.
Here are some photos taken around 8:30 this morning, because I know that you have never seen snow before. First on the left here is the view out of my office window, just over my computer screen. The trees are really weighed down with snow. Hoping none fall, Hoping the electric doesn't go out, because that would really suck.

Below is a shot of the railing on the deck and the rhododendruns, which are usually over 6 feet high - weighed down with snow.




Someone is enjoying the snow though. Harlow loves running through the snow. It's not too easy today though, because the snow is up past her belly. She runs through the snow, mouth down, catching and eating snow in her mouth as she runs.

Oh wow! I sure hope the electricity holds.

Harlow is adorable! I wonder what it is about snow that dogs love so much.

This one just barely missed us here in NC. We got about an inch of slush yesterday, but if it had been cold, we'd have been in your boat!

Happy birthday! I'm in Michigan (where we are having an unusually sunny morning), watching the news coverage of all the snow. I love your photos! When the snow gets that high here in the winter we have to dig a path around the yard for our Lucy dog when she goes out.

I hope your electricity stays on!

What a cutie-patootie!! I used to have a wolf/German shepherd mix when I was a kid and he loved when we'd make snow balls and throw them across the yard. He'd catch them in mid air. Dogs are so funny, you can almost see a smile on their faces when they play in the snow!
