Snowy Day

Snowy Day = Happy Mother Nature

Mother Nature is rejoicing today! Not only is it a glorious, exciting inauguration day, but the snow we’re getting here in the Triangle will take us well into the spring. She’s put mean ol’ Mr. Dry on notice: we’ll have no drought this year. 

Hopefully. 

My boys have been paying homage to the snowy day. Snow angels all over the neighborhood. Blue Moon heferweitzen chilling on the back porch. Fertilizer pellets in the bases of all of our trees.
We’ve done all we can to keep the snow around for another day or so … and then I’ll be ready for sunshine and shorts. 

But for today, have fun in the snow. Take Governor Perdue’s advice and stay off the roads. And pray for good water levels throughout the year.

Beautiful snow today. I always hate that first foot-step or tire ridge when everything is so clean and white. The deer have been in my backyard all morning munching on the shrubs. I've even seen a few cardinals. So pretty against the white snow.

I'm so glad to see the snow on my garden, too.
