Snow in the Heart of Virginia

Just a quick note & pics showing our snow


Snow in my Stone Garden, perfect white snow cushions on the chaise lounges


and on my birdbath



Down my brick walk

and capping car

This is the kind of snow kids pray for! No school, but we knew that last night. The snow is good packing and deep, at least 6 inches. If I were (a lot) younger I would be out there from sun-up till sundown. Rosy cheeked, wet, cold and sniffly. Snowmen, sledding, snow ball fights, snow forts and walls. At least I have those memories! Going to the cow pasture and sliding down the hill, it was the best. Until Albert ran into my face with his sled. White snow and lots of RED blood! I remember I didn't want Grandma Chandler to see me because she had just had a heart attack and I didn't want to be the cause of another one. Then there was talk of stitches! NO WAY! Albert's mother was a nurse and suggested it. If that happened now that child would get taken to the ER and gotten stitches AND a Tetanus shot! Ahh, those were the days!

I was praying some kid would come by and offer to shovel my driveway for a couple of bucks. Not a one! Where are all the teenagers? Probably on the slopes, that's where.

While sweeping the snow off the roof of my car I managed to snap off my antenna. I really was trying to be careful around it, too. I sure hoped that can be fixed!
