Our Winter Storm

Mother Nature decided to provide us with a winter wonderland morning.  Although the captain and I prefer bit warmer temps, I can say the view outside is breathtakingly beautiful.

After lunch we decided to put on our cold weather gear and head out the door for a walk around the neighborhood.  It did not take us long to realize this was not such a good idea.  TOO COLD! and slippery.  Since we are not cold tolerant and are usually further south this time of year, we really are not equipped for snow and freezing temps.  Neither one of us own a pair of appropriate shoes/boots for the snow.  Once we stepped outside, our feet disappeared.  That would be okay if we had something that would keep our feet from getting wet.  I have a pair of boots, but not the type for snow.  The captain, well...lets just say he doesn't own anything close to boots for his feet.

We decided walking on the road would be better, since it has been scraped.  But underneath the snow, there is ice.  We both slipped a couple of times, looked at each other and turned around and came back inside.  Oh well.  We thought it would be fun.  We quickly found out it is more fun to be inside, warm and dry, drinking our hot tea, eating popcorn and watching the neighborhood kids frolicking outside.  (sign of getting older maybe?)

I did have fun for just a few minutes with my camera.  These are hanging from our house. 

Hope everyone is warm and safe.  Until next time...

Enjoy...
