It's a great day to be a kid or a dog.

When you're a kid, one of the best sights in the world to see is a yard full of snow.

Clean, white, fluffy snow.  Not that icy stuff we've been getting here in the Upstate of SC.

Well, it became a reality for a lot of children yesterday and I have to admit that even though I was fighting it with all my being.....it is pretty.

Thanks to basketball games and baseball evaluations being cancelled, this is what the kids have been doing all day.

The boys built their fort for the snowball fight.  It got pretty intense for a while but they had so much fun.

Chase loves the snow and stayed outside for hours watching the kids and playing soccer.

Now, this is what mom is left with.

What a great day to be a mom.  Cookies and hot chocolate are now being enjoyed by all.

Oh, I almost forgot to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
(I'm not a huge fan but I'm not a Valentine's Scrooge either, so enjoy.)

Trees of Glass

It definitely is a winter wonderland in the Upstate of South Carolina.

That winter storm that swept the country finally paid a visit and left us with some beautiful scenery if not some trecherous roads.

Take a look around.

When I looked outside this morning with the sun shining bright, I realized that God had left us with trees that looked as if they were made of glass.

Hope you are enjoying this last weekend of January (can you believe that?). 

Now I say let's bring on the spring blooms and warmer temps.

Good-bye Mr. Winter - thanks for dropping by.
