We had a snow day last week and it felt like winter had finally arrived. Snow dropped thickly on the cold ground at dizzying speeds. The mitten box was pulled out, and hats were pulled on, snow pants pulled up, and I think we even pulled out a face mask. The littles ran outside and made snowforts, attempted a snowball fight with snow that clustered in powdery waves, and generally put made footprints all over the backyard. I went outside and looked stylish with a plastic target bag over my camera (can you say, high class?) and snapped photos. It was cold, but not too cold, with just enough bite to make you ready for some hot chocolate when you came inside, but not too much that you couldn't feel your fingers. As much as I'm ready for spring, these winter days are slowly growing on me. What can I say? I guess I'm a Minnesotan girl at heart.
Lovely snow that comes to surprise us. We had some unexpectedly to bring February in. It snowed almost nonstop for three days and we now have 5 or 6 inches blanketing the ground, and for this Seattleite, well I might as well be in the Arctic. Love all of these! Especially the one where one of your adorable freckle faced brother is holding ice in front of face. Happy wintering!

These photos are lovely, Hannah! I wish we had snow where I lived. Unfortunately, it's been between 50 and 60 degrees for the past 2 weeks, with no hope of snow anywhere. I feel like we skipped winter. :(

Pretty! We are expecting snow this weekend {5 to 10cm} but it usually passes over my corner of East Anglia. Which I guess is a good thing; England grinds to a halt when it snows!
ReplyDeleteLoved this. I love the snow bokeh. Just lovely! :)

i'm with ya...winter is fun as long as there's snow. if the powdery flakes don't all at all, i'm itching for summer!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so lonesome for a wintry wonderland! ::sighs::

ReplyDeletelovely snow!
ReplyDeleteawh, these pictures remind me of the snow days i used to have. i live by the ocean now, so no snow days for me, but where i used to live i remember waking up early to freshly fallen snow. i would call my best friend and we would have a great time making snow angles, snowmen, and sledding. so many fun memories!
ReplyDeleteAw, you lucky! You actually have snow.
