snow flurries???

I don't think that I would call 5" of snow... snowflurries. And didn't someone tell me that it doesn't snow in VA? Hmm.... every winter we have lived here we have seen the white stuff... and this time it lasted more than a day!

Plows don't exist in VA...and snow (ahem, "sand") trucks are few and far between. It took Lou several attempts to get out of our drive... 3 attempts to get a running start up the hill that leads out of the development... and a skid through a 3way stop... Whew...good thing we are talking about before the roosters crow! (Perhaps he is going to use this as an excuse to get some wheels that can actually drive in the snow?? His 1994 volvo just won't cut it in the winter weather.. I can hear the reasoning already starting....)

The trio were infatuated with the snow. And when it finally melted, Mary was beside herself.


Getting ready to head out for some fun. And yes, I taped plastic bags aroudn their legs since we didn't have any snow suits.

You can tell by the "crying" faces that once the snow hit the flesh, it wasn't as fun anymore...








What better way to finish off an out-door outing than with some yummy hot cocoa!
