the land of snow and ice

We have finally had our winter these last two weeks...

what a beautiful world!

Ruth and I both ventured down to the nearby river

for a photo opportunity.

We saw this!

Quite picturesque!

Virginia storms still amaze me...truly snowed in. =)

Home is the little blue house on the hill...

I've decided an eastern storm can be messy. You might be out of electricity for ten hours, miss nearly five days of school in two weeks' time, need to park a quarter mile from your house because of the icy hill. =) But this one was a picture not to be missed!
