Not for Snow Haters

You won’t understand.

But for all of the rest of you…

We got snow last week!

This is how it made me feel. Sigh.

Don’t laugh.  It’s just starting.  Everyone took pictures like this. It’s what we do in South Carolina when anything remotely resembling snow falls from the sky.

Same deck a few hours later.  I really wondered if I should be happy that I had before pictures of the trees before the snow. I did not think they were going to stand up straight again. I mean look what it did to the oak tree in the front yard…

This was extremely scary sounding standing right by the front door when it fell.  I almost didn’t want to open the door.

This was taken just before it happened. I think if we had been out just a few minutes longer there would have been some underwear changing involved.

I don’t think anything could have prepared me for what it looked like when the sun started to come up the next day, and I looked out my back door…

Stay tuned.  In 10-20 years, I’ll have more snow pictures for you.

About Extraordinary in the Ordinary

I am a professional photographer who lives and works from her heart. My goal is always and in everything to be better today than I was yesterday. I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I want to live an extraordinary life. I am the mom to two grown sons, and there has been nothing I have loved more than being their mom and being home with them. And while you are always a mom, there is a certain part of that time in my life that is over now that they are grown. I miss hearing them play and having them with me all the time and having all their friends over, but it is time to move to the next stage of life or at least trying to figure out what that is. I am making a list of personal goals, connecting with friends, and still nesting even though the children are grown. I think I will always be a "nester". Home is where the heart is. I love home and love making it a healing place of peace and comfort.
