Today, the pussy willows are convinced it's March and are putting forth numerous buds.
I clipped a few to bring in the house to see if they will bloom.
Tomorrow night, we are likely to receive around six inches of snow (yay!)
The wood is stacked neatly inside the house and we have plenty
of food and good reading material, should the winds come up
and make travel difficult.
It will be our first measurable snowfall, any precipitation really,
since Fall 2011.
Let it snow!

Oh I hope you post your snow pics!! It will be so cool if you get to have a White Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the pussy willows, let it be March! Six inches of snow!! It's so very pretty, as long as you can stay home, or it just stays on the grass. I'm glad you love it though.
ReplyDeleteWow ~ I can't believe your pussy willows are budding! Enjoy your snow. I am soooo done with mine. ;)

Yay for precipitation! Stay safe and warm and have a Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI loved your video....your pups are gorgeous!! If I had to walk that far for the mail I wouldn't check it but once a week ;)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing we're collecting wood for around here is to build an ark - we've had rain, rain, rain and just for good measure, a little more ... rain!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a cozy, warm, and deliciously white few days.
Snow! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you get your white Christmas. It's a very rare occurrence here to have one - I would love one.:)) Enoy it when it comes.
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy this video just made me so happy on so many levels. Yeah for snow and love the boots my friend. HUGS B
ReplyDeleteLoved the video Nancy that the kind of snow I like... Some where else I can enjoy the beauty without being cold
ReplyDeleteWith weather so strange - it's no wonder the pussy willows are confused.
ReplyDeleteLove the dogs romping and your yellow boots... not the length of your driveway.
Will I ever complain about getting the mail again? A resounding NO!! What a great video Nancy and a good walk too! That is refreshing I bet.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the video, especially where the camera pans and there they are, just looking
ReplyDeletehappy snow
it's funny, while i was out driving around yesterday morning, i was thinking how springlike it looked, everyone's yards were spring green! we might get a little snow thursday :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, brings back memories of growing up in the cold snowy Plains. I just love your dogs!
ReplyDeleteLove the video! The dogs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt was 35 here yesterday and 58 this morning- I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!
ReplyDeleteHow funny about the Pussy Willows, Love the beautiful Shepards in the snow, made me smile, Francine.
ReplyDeleteWe've had years like that. We didn't have a winter last year and everything was blooming in January. Needless to say, our pecan crop was awful this year, so the wintering birds will have little extra "stuff" to eat. I may have to supplement with peanuts. Have fun in the snow.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to have a White Christmas , when you are inside and warm with a Log fire. Pussy Willow is early as you say.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Week

I think our pussy willows are often confused with this weather too. lol Let it snow!! :)
ReplyDeleteAny thing to end an drought. Let it snow... We're heading off to Arizona to be with son and family. It's great but I'll miss that white Christmas I so love...
ReplyDeleteAnd Merry Christmas to you and yours, Nancy....
poor confused plants. we have bluebonnets growing here right now.
ReplyDeleteYou already have quite a bit of snow! We'll take moisture any way it comes!
ReplyDeleteThe dogs seem to be enjoying it too!
Looking forward to snow pics!
No snow here either. It has been raining and dreary, but the temps have been in the 40's and 50's. Today it is sunny....it does not feel like Christmas at all!

The house is stocked I can't wait.
The ground is white now and its falling steady!
Woof! Woof! ENJOY the SNOW. Have a wonderful Holiday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteLoved the video, but it sure did make me cold. I couldn't imagine living where it snowed...I wouldn't leave me house all winter long!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see snowy photos from you! I love to see snow but not have to deal with it, so I like to live vicariously through others in their photos haha :)
