Snow at the Lake


We left home a week ago at the start of a blizzard and we returned home last night to find several feet of fresh, white snow decorating the house, the trees, the newly-frozen lake. It's a pure, white vista from my office window.


We have been waiting for this first big snowfall of the season and are grateful we can stay put and enjoy it. By March, people will be cursing this snow that now seems miraculous.

My husband won't mind shoveling today, but it's the tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow that might wear him down. Yes, I will help. Probably.

Stay warm, all of you in snow country. . .

  3. I sure remember those days, looking out the front windows at the lake. It was almost 3 miles across where we lived. Quite a sight.

  4. It's beautiful here too in Northern Alberta but coupled with the windchill, even early-season snow feels like another reason to stay inside. One can't deny its beauty though.

  5. I suggest your job is staying inside and baking pineapple cake. We have only a light dusting of snow here. Can't even be measured in inches. Yours is a downy-deep blanket. Beautiful.

    Snow is the devil in disguise. Beautiful, enticing but oh so evil!

  8. Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen snow like that and yes, it is absolutely delightful when it first falls...not so much later, as you mention.

    These are gorgeous photos, too. I don't know how you get any writing done, though...with this vista in the winter and those wonderful lake views in the summer!

    Thanks so much for all of your comments today. Very nice and much appreciated!

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
