it began to snow yesterday after lunch...
so DH took me for a little ride around town...
in the snow...
and he would stop so I could get photos along the way...
all of this was in town...
we decided not to do the country roads in case they were slick...
it was coming down pretty good!
and everything still has some snow stuck to it...
this is what it looks like if you are inside a snow globe after someone shakes it up...
it was such a nice drive...
and remember this house that I posted last summer?
isn't it great covered in snow?
found a bunch of squirrels around town...
but he was the funniest...
and that feeder was hanging right next to this one with a woodpecker...
and back home again with our own rose bush...
a pretty pink bloom frozen in time...
there are many blooms on here and the leaves are still green...
no big plans here last night...
we just cuddled the old year out and the new one in...
2012 was a gaining year for me...
more ups than downs...
tons of blessings...
lots of joy...
and some sadness...
but doors closed and others opened...
made new friends...
and said bye to some old ones...
but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle...
and nothing compared to what others are struggling with daily...
so...
it was a good year and I am thankful for it...
let us all boldly step into this new year...
and claim it as a blessing and victory now...
2013...
its going to be awesome!
