our first real snowfall!

it snowed today!!
yippie skippie!
as we watched the rain turn into big fat snowflakes...
my excitement began to build...
and when the snow began to stick to the ground,
well, i knew we were goin on a little field trip!

mr. dan and i threw on some clothes,
skipped brushing our teeth...ew...
and headed for our favorite country road for a few photos
 (make that a few hundred)

i have been anxiously awaiting this first snowfall all winter.

i was as giddy as a young school girl.
(try that sentence with a german accent...it is much funnier)

i love snow!

the snow was soooo wet i had to carry an umbrella to keep my camera from getting wet.
i finally understand why someone invented those stupid looking hats with the umbrella attached...it would have come in handy.

as we returned back to the old homestead...
this is my house with snow on the roof....
it was still coming down,
 in big wet flakes...

some of them even look like little white hearts!
do you see the hearts?

snow covered angels and floating white hearts falling from the sky...
a little piece of
heaven
 on
earth!

a couple of hours later the snow was completely gone
 and then mr. sunshine even came out.
i am so glad we rushed out to take pictures when we did!
p.s.  i know how to add a snow effect in photoshop but did not use it on any of these photos...nature took care of that for me.

have a good week!

this is my first attempt at the new google way of blogging...ha...so new (to me, anyway) that i can not even recall the name for it!  anyhoo, i hope i did it right...learning something new is good for us, right?

i have also installed the new linky followers button on my sidebar...i have been reading all sorts of rumors ("rumor has it", i love that song by adele) about google discontinuing the google friend connect button as of march 1st....i hope this does not happen as i love my followers and i don't want to loose a single one of you!!  you can sign up to follow me in the new linky follower gadget if you care too....i am a little confused by the whole darn thing, but feel sure it will work itself out....fingers crossed here.
