Snow!

12/14/2013

2 Comments

 
It was snowing when we went to bed last night and it was snowing when we got up this morning. By the time I tripped out to the mail-box and got snow in my cowboy boots, it was about 2-3 inches deep.

Shortly after that, Katherine and I went out with cameras in hand and got some some pictures of varying sorts...She took more of me than I did of her, but by the time I was done making a few snowballs with my barehands and all around behaving like a Southern kid who rarely sees snow and taking the ash-bucket up the hill to dump it, my toes were so freezing that I couldn't think straight. (That sounds kind of strange...) Anyway, I think my leather boots probably would have kept my feet warmer than the mud-boots I was wearing, but granted the tops are more open so I would have really swamped myself with cold snow-flakes. Neither did it help that the mud-boots have holes in them and that we lined them with plastic sacks to keep our feet dry.

Anyway, enough musing on the pro's and con's of particular boots...

"Snow! Snow! Snow! SNOW!!"
A very poor attempt at trying to sound like Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, and Vera Ellen all at the same time. I was completely off key the whole time...

Probably wouldn't have hit her even if I HAD tossed that snowball at her...

Poor little frozen 'mingo...

Abby thinks we're nuts...I'm sure of it!

Pretty winter scene.

By the time I turned around to come down the hill, the snow was coming down harder and blowing straight into my face. I couldn't see very well!

That old round hunk of steel was used as part of a obstacle course several years back for the B. boys on Reformation Day. :)

Bug was getting pretty cold too!

I guess she went to take a self-portrait and forgot to zoom out--anyway, I really like this picture. It looks planned!

Ever the artist, Katherine had to get pictures of the snow melting in her hair! :D

So y'all...that's about it!

Love the pics. Love the Snow!! Love you ladies!!
We haven't had any snow yet, although it has been north of us. In the Charlottesville, Culpeper area you could still see traces yesterday. I always look forward to the Snow. We will be heading to FL Dec.21-31. Will probably miss seeing some of your fam. Timing just not right. Blessings to ya'll.

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
