It started on October 31st, 2011, but then it went away. For 3 months I have listened to my son complain about the lack of winter this year, you see for him winter means snow. As for myself, I was perfectly happy with the mild weather, not needing to shovel or dig the cars out or worry about slipping on ice.

March 1st, 2012 brought the beautiful white winter decoration my son was so longing for. Ah, it is beautiful. . .

The white on white out my dining room window with a touch of twiggy contrast.

The heavy laden branches of my cherry tree out front, and it’s still snowing now.

It’s also humorous to look at my neighbor’s ice cream cake swimming pool and frosted swing set.

But now it’s time for the son’s who so love and long for this weather to go out and deal with it. Go shovel your hearts out, and have fun while you’re at it!
