Snow in southern Virginia, finally!

Yes, we knew that this new location would be wetter and warmer, and less snow than we've enjoyed in years past. However, the weather folks kept teasing us since November last year with "it's gonna snow tonight"...and then nothing! After the first dozen times, it lost its appeal and humor.

And then sometime between 3 am and 6 am, we actually got about 2 inches of snow! The boys LOVE it, as does Maya!

This is her favorite type of weather. Cold and comfortable. She's checking for the squirrels that she usually gets to chase off the deck. None here today.

Storm was a BUST!

storm went south and east, we just got a dusting! but, the weather today is perfect for making a fire and we're going to bake our Valentine's cupcakes. I think we are going to put surprise fillings in each one for fun.
