The last week has been a mix of winter's worst wrath. I am so ready for SPRING!
However, Saturday morning I awoke to find the ground covered with a beautiful white blanket of snow. The ugly gray skies were replaced with magnificant sunshine, that made my yard look like a glistening cushion of clouds.
As I do first thing every morning, I took my big old dog out for a walk. Tasha, who is a Tibetan Mastiff loves the snow. Just like a child, she finds a perfect spot rolls down to her back and methodically wiggles back and forth. It remains me of all the times, as kids, we would follow the same procedure and make "snow angels". She will continue to sprawl her 12 year old body in the snow for several minutes, then slowly push herself back up onto all fours. Once in the proper erect position she will shake with joy and send snow flakes all around. Often times, she will go down into the snow over and over again.
As we lumber back to the house, I notice the brilliant red cardinals. They are all about in the trees and on the ground, jockeying for their turns at the newly filled bird feeders. They are an amazing contrast with white..almost like a Christmas Light Bulb dancing in the snow.
So maybe just for a while, this winter wonderland is OK!
Get post today. A loving dog and childhood memories, can't beat that. Yes, I am getting tired of the snow too, but it won't be long. I enjoyed your previous post about your daughter. Get project and I know how proud you are of her.

Wow, even though we are in the middle of summer I can't help but want to run in that snow for awhile. It looks so soft! Thanks for dropping by Beach Vintage.
