Let it Snow!

Jersey loves to catch snow. (She won't fetch but this she does....?!)



Can you see Jersey in this shot? (See below.)

Bring on more snow!


I was over visiting Marita and Atticus last night when it started to snow. It was really coming down in beautiful plump snowflakes. Actually the term snowflakes is a bit misleading as they are delicate and these were more like small snowballs. I thought it wise to drive home before it started to stick because I didn't have my winter tires on yet. As I got closer and closer to Richmond the snow was starting to pile up and I was lucky I left when I did. I couldn't wait to get home so I could take Jersey out in the snow. She absoloutely loves the snow. We're a lot alike in that respect. We both seem to come alive...
I couldn't stop thinking how amazing it was. I love coastal snow because it is so wet and the snow falls down in giant clumps unlike the dry interior snow. It's also the perfect snow for making snowballs, snowmen and forts. As soon as Jan and I woke up this morning we headed out for another walk. We stopped by Starbucks for our sunday morning treat. (We both used out travel cups of course!) We walked for an hour in the half in the snow and took some great shots of our daily walking route. Jersey even managed to see one squirrel today!
