Friends, thank you for the comments on yesterday's post...I did reply to those who don't have blogs.
Now I know you folks who have lived with snow since sometime last fall, have no desire to look at snow pictures but...
these are some pretty serious snow pictures. :)
especially for this area of North Carolina... and how about this Carolina blue sky!
usually a winter storm here means ice on the trees and power lines...
what we had here were beautiful soft white snow blossoms covering the trees...
Then very early this morning, before any of the neighbors were even up, Poppy, Eli, Weetie, Smokey, and I ventured out...
My gosh! No wonder the power went out at the edge of dark last night and was out until 3:43 this morning. I know the exact time it came on because was lying awake listening to the generator run.
We started on our usual walk up to the highway. Eli was in heaven...
and that black dot you see lagging behind is Smokey...
"Come on Smoke". This is where I picked him up and carried in my arms for a ways, warming his little feet.
Snowfall across the new cut over...
and cutest of all...
oh wait, here it is...
Smokey! and I feel terrible that not one picture shows our little Weetie.
"Miss Independent", our little Weetie. In and out every path and trail along the way. We always make sure us still with us though.
Hope you will forgive me for posting this many snow pictures. Believe me, I want spring!!! Give me warm weather over cold any time!!!
Thank you for putting up with all this,
Love,
Henny
I promise, no more! :)

It all looks so beautiful dear Henny Penny - just like a winter wonderland. I wish I could send you some pics of it here - very brown & crisp & dried out. Lots of dead things in my poor old garden.
ReplyDeleteThis was one pretty snowfall!!Snow makes everything look so pure and clean. Loved seeing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! Snow is beautiful clinging to trees and bushes, especially with that brilliant blue sky. Eli is so white that he seems to disappear - he's snow white!
ReplyDeleteThank you Peg. Today most of the snow melted. We got up to 52 degrees. This has been crazy weather.
DeleteLooks like a Wonderland there Henny !
ReplyDeleteFluffy snowflakes are the best, Eli and Smokey having a grand old time :)
What I notice mostly is the silence....so quiet.
Hugs,

I love the snow pictures. We have had no snow at all this year. Not even a little flurry so I am happy to see your snow.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and I suppose exciting to you all who don't get snow regularly, but being an Michigan girl I am over it! Also, thankful that we had a mild winter as winters go! No polar vortex this time!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful snow pictures! Stunning against that blue blue sky!. I imagine that once the sun was out a bit that it all melted fast and everything was drip drip dripping.
ReplyDeleteOh, the blue skies.... They are almost as wonderful as the snow. I love the snow pictures! "Snow blossoms covering the trees..." Oh how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe trees are pretty. I always think the prettiest snows are gone the very next day. LOL. I am not crazy for snow. I bet your pets were in shock, although dogs seem to love romping in it. Saty warm young lady, xoxo, Blessings, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh Henny! I just knew your home and land would be so beautiful in the snow and it sure is really beautiful!!! The trees, everything is gorgeous. And that blue sky against the snow! I bet Eli did love it, but poor Smokey - he looks so cold. I know cats are stubborn though and he probably loved it too. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteWell, as much as I don't care for winter those are gorgeous pictures. Looks like fairy land to me! When we have snow like that we have cloudy gray skies--the blue behind the snow is beautiful. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteAs much as I detest snow and by this time in February I am always absolutely over it, I have to admit your photos are gorgeous. That blue sky is amazing. Eli looks like he's having a wonderful time but I'm surprised Smokey even ventured out into it. Our cats would NEVER get their paws into snow! Enjoy it while you have it and I'm really glad your power came back on.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
I see lots of snow and am ready for it to be done. But - your photos are gorgeous! Sorry you lost power though. Smokey is so cute and I love seeing Eli in the snow.
ReplyDeleteAwesome snow photos. the bright light emphasizes the fresh clean snow.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, especially the ones with the snow-blossom trees and blue skies. Stay warm, Mxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of your snow day. So pretty with the blue skies. Here in the Charlotte area we had a few hours of flurries, but nothing stuck around. It was pretty and peaceful while it lasted. It's always worth documenting with photos as it happens so rarely in these parts.
ReplyDeleteYour snow photos are beautiful! And it looks like it will go away fast too. That's all good. Love your blue sky!
ReplyDeleteI too think snow is beautiful- especially if I don't have to drive anywhere. Eli finally wore camouflage. 😉❄️☃
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking Diane. Always good to hear from you.
DeleteBeautiful snowy photos! I am certain it will melt soon. Good for Eli I bet he felt great! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Henny- Delightful Snow photos you have shared with us- so different to here- never been in snow. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteOh those are beautiful snow pictures. Those are the best kind of snows, wet ones that coat every little twig and make the trees and bushes look gorgeous. When the sun shines on them they look just magical.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how much Eli enjoys the cold weather. He is just made for it with all that hair and blends in wonderfully.
Thank you Victoria. Most of the snow melted today when the temperature climbed to 52 degrees. It was sure pretty while it lasted though.
DeleteOh! Wow! I've just gotten out of bed..first lemon
ReplyDeletetea of the day..what amazing pictures..hope you
don't mind Henny..but..l'm gonna copy/paste these
and put them in a folder..! :).
Eli? Eli? Where on earth is Eli..Can't seem to see
him at the moment..Bless him..!x
I can see the very dark pussy~cat lurking in the
undergrowth..My pussy~cats used to love the snow..! :).
And..yes..l've said it before..we don't see enough of
Weetie..Bless him!x
Best get on..yesterday we had a complete day without rain,
it's back to~day with high winds. Weather over here is very
bad..especially up north, and Wales..what with all the flooding,
9 people died already..not good..and no signs of it clearing
away yet..
Once again Henny..love the photos..will get them off to my daughter!

Thank you Willie. Of Course I don't mind your copying the pictures, I'm flattered. And to think, I was using my little $99.00 camera. Hope you get a break from the rain soon, and the others too. We have had way too much rain this winter.
DeleteOh my I heard you had quite a bit of snow. So unusual for you. It was truly beautiful to see friend. Here in Ohio we have had more rain than the white stuff. Hope you are staying warm. Loved seeing Eli and Smokey! HUGS
ReplyDeleteThe snow is very pretty, regardless of what it did to the power lines. We (of course) have quite a bit here in Ontario where we live. We had a little grey cat named Nelly who used to follow us on walks as well. :) -Jenn
ReplyDeleteYou'll really did get a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so beautiful. Thankfully the snow that was predicted for our little Island didn't happen but the wind and rain continue.
ReplyDeleteYou can't lose Smokey in that snow, but Eli is a different story with that white fur!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you knew Poppy had him. Love the picture of the blue sky, because I am not
a fan of snow. We only had the cold, so sorry you got hit and lost power for so long.
Just gorgeous! It doesn't look like Smokey is Having that much fun.💖
ReplyDeleteThe snow transformed your world into a magical fairy world. It's just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Smoky under the snowy twigs.
Great snow pictures!! I like you am ready for spring but I was so excited to see one snow the perfect snow that came and went. Love you bunches.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I love snow-- I never tire of it. Winter has its rightful place, too! Spring will come when it has to and it will be lovely, of course. That sky-- well, everything looks so pristine! Love that Smokey tags along with you on your family walks. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYou surely captured some beautiful NC snow photos..love it all. I love how all of our Family members it seems went on the daily walk. So sweet. God's coloring Book. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeletecorrection: all of "Your" Family members went on the walk.. (whew..its early)
DeleteHenny, some of those pics would make beautiful Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteI do admit I'm tired of winter, but your snow pictures are lovely, the snowy trees by the lake! That's what makes me really smile at winter, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am DONE with winter Henny but must admit these are very pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnd Smokey, dear little Smokey. How cute is that little jigger.
Well, you have some nice winter photos now but I'm looking forward to seeing you
out and about in your gardens. And raking...always raking. lol sending a hug, Deb
Your rime frost is stunning! We had snow, but nothing like that in the trees. It was a nice END to winter ... we hope :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous, your trees look enchanting all white and full of ice crystals. I especially like the photo of the pond. Stay warm sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! You got way more snow than we did, and the weather is just beautiful with that incredible sky! Thanks Henny
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of seeing snow pictures. We really haven't had all that much snow this year. I'm still waiting for a good foot of snow to come along! :)
ReplyDeleteAll your snow pictures are gorgeous.
Ha! Oh Henny, I live in snow land, and I never get sick of snow photos. Snow is so magical, and it really is beautiful all around your property. And you are right, what a beautiful Carolina blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI always like snow pictures, even though I live in Minnesota! The picture of the house in snow would be a good one for a Christmas card. Phil
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your snow pictures! We are just not getting it here. I want some winter wonderland like you have.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these photos are gorgeous! We got a little bit here in TN the morning before y'all got yours but ours was wet and the sun never came out at all. If you feel like me, give me one pretty snow for the season and I'm good! I am ready....SO READY...for spring!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Henny!! I can't believe the kitties go on your walk, too - that's hysterical!!
ReplyDeleteYour snow pictures are mind-boggling Henny!! Blue sky and frozen trees are the perfect combinations, not less than a miracle. I had to put on an extra lens to identify Eli in the pics. He thoroughly blended with the snow background. Smokey was the perfect poser in all the photos. Loads of love to both of them and happy blogging Henny!!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look so beautiful dear Henny. The snowfall makes the surroundings look so pure and clean. I love playing in the snow after a hectic week of studies and music classes. Thank you for sharing the pictures with us. I hope you will find spring soon at your place.
