Winter in Iowa

After a lot of beautiful, relatively warm days winter has arrived! Cold, snow and wind....Brrrr! Winter is definitely my least favorite time of year! I love to watch it snow, but I hate the cold.

I am making use of these cold, nasty days to catch up on bookkeeping and work on new programs for 2012. I have some new backgrounds and props already in. I am looking forward to an exciting year!

A Visit From Jack Frost

Time to Hibernate!

Technically, this is the second snow we've had, but the first one was so short lived that by the time I got up and got dressed, it was about all melted. As of this afternoon, there is still some snow hanging around, but the majority of it has melted.....Brrrr....it's cold, damp and wintery!

Spring?

Hope the Easter bunny hadn't gotten rid of his winter coat! We woke up to a bit of snow this morning....so much for spring being here!! By noon most of the snow had disappeared but it is still chilly and cloudy.

Took engagement pictures for a cute couple this afternoon...might post some of those later. Their wedding is April 19. That is the first of the many weddings I have booked for this year. I really enjoy taking wedding pictures and every wedding is different so you have a lot of creative opportunities. Okay, it is stressful too because you don't want to mess up, but it is still a lot of fun!

Snow, Snow, Snow

It never stops!! This last one kept us snowbound for most of 3 days and even on the 4th day, after the wind blew all night, you could only get through with 4 wheel drive.

Sounds like we might get some more on Monday and Tuesday! I can only imagine how muddy it will be come spring...probably get stuck in the mud then!
