Winter Wonderland!

I have seen many good samaritans in the past two days. I've also done my fair of pushing (including the vehicle in this photo) too. I am just thankful that I was never stuck. It is just such a pleasant site to see so many good people doing good things when the need arises.
Note: I rarely wear a coat, even in the snow! I was out for hours and was just fine. Gloves? Um.


Here we were--a family--stuck at home due to a winter storm, and the boys would not go out and have some fun! That did not stop us old parents! We did not let the fact that we had no children with us stop us from having a little sledding fun! Enjoy the video below!




Here is a video of the Mississippi River. I was disappointed that you could not hear the ice clumps crashing together on the video. The serenity of the quiteness broken by the crashing was quite a moment to experience.





I enjoyed time photographing the winter storm. Here are a few of the photos I took. Thanks for looking!

Wow, Hummie! I really enjoyed this post. You got so many nice pictures. I think my fav is the close-up of the geese. I'm so glad you got to go sledding :) I went down once today, too. I can't believe how cold you must have felt! I never go anywhere w/ out my gloves in cold weather! I may not wear a coat, but always gloves!

Loved the Video. Good to see you and DH out together for some good laughs! Here in Mississippi we had 1 1/2 inches of snow; not much sledding.;o)
