It’s the snowpocalypse!

The snowpocalypse got off to a slow start this morning.

Well, that escalated quickly.

That’s right, we’re finally getting our share of snow here in the Midwest, and boy, do I wish the forecast had been right the first time. That forecast had most of the snow falling overnight, meaning I wouldn’t have to drive in it. But the revised forecast had it starting this morning, and it came pretty much when they said it would.

It hasn’t let up since.

I’ve been documenting it on Instagram all day, and I’ll probably post another picture just before I leave. Suffice it to say, we’ve had quite a bit of snow in a short amount of time, and it ain’t even close to over. *sigh*

I love how moisture brings out the color in an otherwise dreary landscape:

I took this a couple of weeks ago, back before our newest round of snow made this beautiful apple tree even more beautiful. Sadly, I never managed to get a picture of it dusted with snow. 😦

There was another gorgeous sunset last night, and it made for a lovely silhouette:

I just love sunset silhouettes, don’t you?

It’s another plain gray day out there. Plain gray days are not helping my ability to wake up and stay focused.

This is another shot from my trip out of the house over the weekend. This is the sort of thing that might help me stay awake and focused and all those other grown-up, responsible-type things.

*passes out*

In desperate need of some decongestant, I made a trip to town this morning, and this was the sight that greeted me:

The sun on the snow was so bright that my head throbbed all the way there and back, but it was worth it to get it on film (so to speak). What a beautiful day!

There was another absolutely gorgeous sunset last night, and I was lucky enough to get a few pictures of it:

Almost made getting stuck in the driveway worth it. (Okay, not really, but I’m trying to find a bright side to getting stuck in a barely-drifted driveway.)

Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

Last night we had our first major snow storm in a while.

We were supposed to get five to nine inches, but from the looks of things, we got less than half that. Still, the wind has been wicked. I hate to think what the drifts are like out there.

But it’s okay – this has been the perfect weekend for snuggling up under a blanket with a good book and a cup of tea. 🙂

It’s been a day full of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The marathon has been lovely, but it’s also left me a bit inspiration-less when it comes to my blog.

With that in mind, I hope you enjoy this pretty, pretty sunset. It was lingering in my archives, just begging to be shared.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Once again, it’s a pretty leaf picture:

It’s been a busy couple of days at work, and my brain’s a little fried, so once again, I’ve got very little to share. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be a little more with it.

Happy Hump Day! 🙂

The snow we got over the weekend is now almost entirely gone, but that didn’t keep me from waking up to another white morning. Once again, the ground was covered in frost when I left for work, and once again, I found some pretty leaves to take pictures of:

I was surprised (in a good way) how well the frost crystals popped out in these pictures. These are the best of the dozen or so I snapped this morning after dropping my kids off at daycare, and I’m pretty tickled with them.

What’s tickled you lately?
