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!

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!

Winter is getting long and depressing!!

I actually went to the flower shop and bought myself some flowers to just brighten up the week.....about choked at the price but they are beautiful!! It inspired me to get my camera and take some different, creative shots of them. This is my favorite!

Sounds like we are in for some more winter weather, first some freezing rain and then snow, 4 to 8 inches, and if the wind blows like they say it is supposed to, we will be snowed in again. Spring must be just around the corner!! I got the seed catalogs out and decided what I wanted to order this year, but I haven't actually placed the order yet......maybe I need to do that to encourage the weather to change.

Think Spring!
