First Snow...

Snow came early this year.  We woke up Monday, November 17th to a beautiful layer of white covering Sadieville.  There was a time I would have bundled up and put on sturdy shoes to hike around the neighborhood and take pictures of this loveliness.  Maybe I'm just aging.  Maybe I'm not wanting to fall on the messy road.  May I'm just getting lazy.  But staying in my warm home was my choice for that morning.  My pictures would be taken from my front porch and the deck over the back yard.  I was up early enough to get these pictures before the snow had tire tracks and foot prints on them.

This little bush is really bright red and located in the front of our home where the drive-way curves.  

This plant is found in our front flower bed.  I think this looks like white broccoli.

 Claude's weather center gave up the ghost.  

The next three pictures are views of the back yard. First looking north, then moving south along our hill.

 

This final picture is the corkscrew willow on the property line between our neighbor's home and ours.  It's trunk is really in their yard but it kind of drapes over into our yard.  For some reason, I just love this tree in every season of the year.  It is perfect for birds to rest in and for grandmonsters to play under.  I just think it is stunning covered in snow.

While our snow was beautiful and managed to close schools in Scott County for the day, Buffalo, New York is literally buried in snow.  Feet on top of feet of snow.  Homes are absolutely covered in the snow that fell there.  It makes me appreciate our beautiful little snowfall even more.  I care not to live in Buffalo.  I'll take our Kentucky snow anytime.
