Snow...

Ah... Michigan... so it's been snowing this week like it's going out of style. Like Mother Nature needs to empty her stash...except she had NO IDEA just how much she'd saved up. My natural childbirth class was canceled tonight due to the snow, and I had to drive around today in fairly unpleasant conditions, so, I figured when I finally got home, I would try to capture some of the beauty. There is beauty to be found of course in all this snow... and I think it's quite alright if I prefer to view it through the window, or better yet, when I can, only in pictures. :)

The evergreens are heavy with snow...

Don't walk under these puppies!!! Danger!

Every little branch has its weight to bear

I call "not it" on taking out the garbage!

The dog loves the snow... for about two minutes. She was begging to come inside before I was even done taking pictures. :) I tried to get her to go in the part of the yard where the snow is a few feet deep to get a good illustration of just how much we've gotten, but she wasn't buying it.

This car hasn't moved or been cleaned since it started snowing. Yeah, that's a minivan.

The easiest place for me to find the beauty of the snow is obviously the evergreens... :)

It's a winter wonderland alright!
