SNOWY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

We decided to take Shelby for a walk Monday morning. The road was actually more treacherous than Sunday. There was new snow over ice, so we kept to walking on the edge of the road in the fresh snow where it wasn't quite so slippery.

Snow can make anything beautiful!

The neighbors pond is frozen and covered with snow.

Today we can actually see the beautiful view of snow covered Mt. Pisgah in the distance now that the clouds have lifted.

Shelby loves her walk. She doesn't care what the weather is!

DOWN THE HILL TO CHURCH WE GO

Thank you Lord for this beautiful snow! What a gift. I love it!!

As we get out on our road to go to church we wonder what the hill will be like.

We don't have 4 wheel drive or even snow tires, but going down should be fine. It's coming back up that's the problem!

Now for the fun part!

Here we go over the edge!

A little bit of slipping, but the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) quickly corrects us. Dennis says it takes all the fun out of it!

Wow! We even made it back up the hill after church without having to walk up! That DSC is great! Now for a quick bowl of soup so we can build a snowman!!!

HURRY BEFORE THE SNOW MELTS!

I couldn't wait to get home from church to build a snowman. The only problem was that Josiah is the one who likes to help me, and he's in Virginia! (He went there to help Jessi out while Drew is gone, like shoveling the snow! So far they've only had a dusting! Ha, ha!)

Anyway, looks like the only help so far is going to be Moses!

"Honey, are you going to help or just take pictures?"

See that tail? (Moses' not Dennis'!) He (Moses) loves the snow!

Well, now I get some help after I already have the hardest part done!

Ta dah!

FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE WINTER!

It started snowing last night about 9:00. We were expecting maybe 1/2 inch or so by morning, but we woke up to at least 6" in places!!! I love it when the weatherman is wrong!

Somewhere under all that snow are some Nandina berries.

Believe it or not, but Rissa's car is under there, and to the right, the snow even makes the overflowing yard debris cart look pretty!!
