Our new snow fall......

you know how you have an ugly tree at your house - usually there's atleast one of them right? Well, this tree was one when we first moved into our house 10 years ago......Someone had made a hatchet job of trying to cut it down and it was hideous......Over the years, Martin has "pruned" it the best he can, and now it has become one of my favorites. Look at the beautiful snow on it today.....I love it and am so glad whoever did the hatchet job on it never took the whole thing down.
The boys' pine trees. Isaac's tree is on the right and Josiah's is on the left. We planted these pine trees a while ago - more than a few years ago actually. One for each of the boys. And are anxiously waiting for them to "mature", just like our boys! ;)

More trees in our yard and the neighbors' yard. I love snow when it covers the trees like it did last night/this morning. It was such a wet and heavey snowfall that it clung to everything it could, and yes, we got a lot of it! Martin cleaned off our deck last night before we went to bed, and it was full of snow again this morning. Thankfull the driveway is almost clear of snow and we didn't have to scoop it! :) Not sure if we needed the moisture or not, but we got it never the less!


Here's a picture of the house that they burned down yesterday. It was still smoldering this morning, even with all the snow we got......(I think you can still see a little smoke in the picture too).
