Yesterday At The Snow Covered Cottage.....

  This was the view as we pulled up in front of the cottage yesterday

  We could not get into the driveway...

  As the snow plough pushed a big pile in front....

  Our gate swings inwards...so we could get in ok...

  Doesn't it just look awesome with no prints anywhere....

  Other than natures little creatures....rabbits, squirrels etc...

    







 The wind must have been howling from the North...

 There was a lot of drifting snow....

 My boyfriend had to sweep his way in!!!!




It was a cloudy day...

So no beautiful sparkly snow....

Perhaps next trip....

I have more pictures...

BUt I will save them for another post...

Enjoy the stroll thru the fresh crisp snow...   






  Hope you all had a good day...

 Did some grocery shopping....yuck..

 BUt then we watched Vivian for a few hours this afternoon...

 Hadn't seen her since CHristmas...

 She was even cuter than I remembered....  :o)


      On the menu this evening...

       Panko crusted cajun baked Ocean Perch..

        Homemade fried rice...

         Fresh yellow beans...and of course some Greek salad..

              Erika joined us for dinner...as well as Vivian... 




                 ENjoy your Saturday night....we got MORE snow today...

                        CHeers!       :o)

  2. It's finally winter!

    I went grocery shopping too. Had my camera along but the day was rather gray for pictures. Either way the snow is beautiful no matter which side of whatever lakes we may be on.

  4. Mother Nature sure gives us wonderful photo opportunities in the winter. Love the untouched look in your photos. After about 5 cm of snow yesterday it is sunny but C-O-L-D today. We will tackle the snow clearing.

  5. Paradise, springs to mind Linda, perfect pad for relaxing by the fire, I love to see all the wildlife that visits your home, a very special place for truly special family. Still no snow here in the UK, very disappointing for the children but great for me at the allotment. We watch in admiration at your snow covered blog!

    1. I only wish we could have a fire, there....
      We turned the water off on Thursday, as the temps had been below zero for a few nights...:o(
      No New Years Eve at the cottage this year..
      Guess I'll have to dance with my boyfriend here at home!!!
      What is going on at the allotment??? Anything planted, yet??

  6. I love your pictures Linda. It looks really beautiful there. We are getting another snowstorm here today. It's pretty bad and now the wind is blowing it all over. It's nice to be in the house and cozy. :-)

  7. Lovely snow! I remember saying to Taylor when he was little..."Could you just play in the back so the snow stays pretty in the front yard?" haha. I'm enjoying our white stuff, too. Today we finally have sun and it's so bright I want to put my sunglasses on in the kitchen. :)
