Snowy, Icy Weekend

Very busy lately.  Got a lot going on.  Got snow, followed by ice, followed by rain this weekend.  Just gonna post a few pics.

mike looks a little "seriel killer-ish" on the porch!

your house looks great is it wooden built? hard to tell from your photo?

Jimmy said...

Is Mike "bearded" for hunting season? He looks very serious and on a mission.

No school tomorrow! I'm ready for this snow to melt and to have 100 degree temps in July! I promise I won't whine!

looks pretty but I remember how miserable the icy/snowy roads can be. You be careful out there!

NICE photos! I always hate when we get ice. My Husband loves to be my great protector. This is a good thing as I am a klutz of the first order. This is not so good after several days of being stuck in the house as he's afraid I will end up on my... end. (Ironically, HE was the one to do so, last ice storm...!)

Take care with all that nonsense. The weather will change, honest!

Is this a typical winter in North Carolina? It looks really cold and Mike doesn't look too happy about it.

I hope the sun shines soon...

Callie Brady said...

Wow! That's a big front yard. Everything looks so pretty in the snow.

Okay, to answer each of you.
John, I didn't look that closely at the pics before I posted. Mike does have that grrr... face. He doesn't like me to take his pic, but says I don't have enough pics of him. You tell me.

Jim, Mike's beard comes and goes like a cat. Some times he grows it, some times he shaves it for a while. It's a mood thing I guess.

Gill, thank you for stopping by! Lovely to have you here.

Ummm, what else. This is a typical eastern North Carolina winter. We get a good few inches of snow once or twice a year. The rest of the winter is usually just cold and miserable. And if we get precipitation, it's often rain because it's just above freezing. Does that sound about right?

Callie, I do have a good size yard. There were no trees when we moved in last year. I planted a Maple, a Magnolia, and a Holly in the front yard, but they are still pretty small. I have a Gum tree for the back yard, but it's only about 18" right now. It's a blank canvas.

As for the snow. I got it for the year. Now I'm done. I'm with Anna. 90 degree Julys are a fav for me with super long days, and Mike telling me to come in from the field for dinner cause it's after 8 p.m. Sigh. Summer. Can't wait.

Great pics. But what were you doing up so early?? Well, lucky us, because it is a beautiful picture.

Well, Randy, if you're up that early for work, whaddya say you watch my boy for me those mornings . . . he fancies himself a rooster, I think . . . he's up at dawn, the latest. Me? Not so much.
