First snow day of 2016 in Bryson City. It finally snowed and Boo was so excited when she woke up. So was I obviously:
There wasn’t much snow first thing in the morning and so I ventured into town to volunteer at the library’s used book store. It was a little slow today, which I anticipated, so I brought along my new Heart Mag to read:
A little after lunch the snow started to accumulate and stick and I headed home:
I love how cute the train depot looks in the snow. I could take a million photos of it:
After lunch Boo played in the snow with a new friend up the street for a while and then we walked over to our friend Mindy’s house to sled this afternoon. Action shot before a wipeout:
Our friend Tim has this cool sheep wagon that I could take a million photos of too:
Boo swinging on her tree swing until dark, over the town:
Just six months ago it looked like this:
I can’t figure out which season I like the most. Spring is so amazing with all the wildflowers in the national park and then summer comes along with all the river activities. Then there is fall with the show of color and winter with the possibility of snow. I love snow as long as I don’t have to go anywhere. I enjoy being stuck with my family and all my books. And I so enjoy the beauty of the snow covered mountains. I just don’t enjoy being cold so I do spend a lot of time by the fire. And that means a lot of firewood. Brett and Boo spent last week chopping:
Brett probably hates that photo because I caught him mid-swing trying to knock a piece of wood off the ax, but Max looks so darn funny. Max looks like he’s running for his life but really he just saw me and wanted a hug.
Hey…stay warm this weekend everyone! Looks like there is a lot of snow coming to the east coast!
I love the picture of your train depot with snow!
In Italty it’s freezing too, but no snow so far. I hope it will snow soon so we can take some walk with snow-rackets on the Alps!
i want to come hang out there!!! i love the comparison shot of boo on the swing!!! we’re in arkansas and this week everyone is flipping out about a little ice. its annoying, i’d love to escape somewhere fun!
Beautiful pictures. What joy.
Best picture ever! I love that you guys are having fun and seems like you hit your niche out there in NC. Small towns rock! I miss my little town in the country where I grew up in MD. In Colorado we are finally getting a little break from the cold and snow! It’s the last week of the Denver Stockshow and we’re hitting the rodeo tonight!!!
Can’t wait to see your garden this spring! Have you looked into vertical gardens? They work well in a raised bed-just need good trellising and pantyhose! Ha Enjoy the snow and family. 🙂
Ashley I love seeing the beauty of your life in so many ways. All the snow photos are beautiful. Especially love the one of Boo now & last summer on her swing. Snow is like magic to me making everything look like it has a coat of icing. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your world. Susan from Tennessee
