Snow Fashion Show

It snowed, and it snowed, and it snowed.  And it has finally quit, I think.  Our local weather forecasters had predicted 6-8 inches of snow.  We have somewhere between  23 and 27 inches.  And our yard and neighboring areas have decided to give a snow fashion show.



Here is our bird feeder wearing a tall hat of snow.  And it goes up farther than the window lets us show.  The birds were a little upset that they couldn't find where to eat from.  The sun has melted a little of the snow, and the birds are happy once again.





And here's the pond showing off it's new winter blanket.  We have some carriage lights around the pond, but the snow is so deep that they are invisible.  Sure hopes this blanket keeps the fish warm enough to survive this winter blizzard.

  


Next we have the pine trees looking very seasonal in their new white gowns.  They are so proud of how sparkly they look, and are ready for any winter carnival.




And not wanting to be outdone, the car has decided to show off it's new white body-suit.  Really, there is a car in there somewhere. 




And here's the ramp after being half shoveled.  You can see just how deep the snow is.  Rod did finish plowing the ramp, just in case you were wondering.









The front of the house is looking quite lovely with its white hats on the railings and the large white tossle cap on the roof.  Good thing there's a sign telling people to go to the back door, since you can't find the steps out front.








And last, but certainly not least, is the deck at the back of the house.  It insisted that since it's the newest and most used area of the house, it shouldn't be excluded.  Needless to say, I won't be venturing out in this, and so I can say that it's absolutely beautiful.  It's almost like living in a snow globe.  Stay warm and safe everyone.

What a CUTE post....I love the new "finery" that your surroundings has. The weather forecasters sure got it WRONG for your area, didn't they?
