After I put the birdhouses up Bella came to inspect and liked that there were in her "Royal Garden" and that she could call us with her owl bell and in case I didn't know it that Memaw and I were her Royal Subjects.  lol

Snow is Gone







And more pictures of our flowers blooming from years past. We have old fashioned buttercups up and starting to bloom and way to many other flowers are trying to sprout and it is not time yet.  We have had a lot of warmer than normal temps this winter along with snow twice now which is more than enough on the snow front!  Hopefully spring is just around the corner!!!

Weekend Snow

weeping willow that uprooted
itself due to a heavy coating of ice


Now she's riding the tree!!



our road


the flower garden snowed in

It started early Friday morning with snow for about 15 minutes then turned to sleet and finally back to snow later in the morning.  Then snowed all day and lightly into Saturday morning.  We ended up with 7 1/2", most snow we've had a one time since 1996!
