After a unsustainably busy week and a half, Hazel and I got to enjoy some snow days! I'm super happy and content that the snow is here. I find I often worry about winter coming, but once it here, what's done is done and we just enjoy the snow. I love how quiet it is when there is snow on the ground and it feels a lot lighter in the morning and evenings as it reflects the light. 
Hazel all bundled in her snowsuit, ready to play in the snow!
Hazel's first time walking in the snow! (Video below)
We made a little snow man on the deck in the morning. Hazel sees pretty content in the snow as well, I was expecting a bit more wonder and excitement. But she just seemed to roll with it.
Our finished creation.
I was quite please that the first snow fall was packing snow. I was told that if you pack snow around the base of the tree it helps insulated the roots from the cold and frost. So much for starting with one new tree and see how it grows.... I now have 3 baby trees! My fall Festia maple, my freebie willow and the Japanese maple in the font yard from mom and dad.... Which I probably haven't done a post on yet. I find I have be struggling with bloggers block for the last while... I'm hoping this post of the start on my break through, so stay tuned for lots of "flashback posts..."
Hazel was quite the trooper in the snow, by this time we probably had a good 4 inches, she was walking all over the yard and trying to pick up snow and throw it for Nova. During which I started to build a snow man as most Mama's know the kids play nicer if are playing too!

Nova has been getting better and better with Hazel, I love how she is laying down so patiently!

A side note: I made an effort to take lots of pictures and videos this time as it is pretty mild outside, so it wasn't to cold to take my gloves off and on... as we are heading into -20 later this week I doubt I will be taking as many outside pictures... so enjoy while it lasts!😄
My snowman ended up being a snow bear, and I even managed to get Hazel to give it some hugs! 🥰
A must watch video!!! My Mommy heart just melted again! 😍

My attempt and trying to take a picture with the snow bear....
A fresh untouched blanket of snow! So calming!
It kept snowing lightly throughout the night and we woke up to snow neatly piled on top of all the post caps and along the fence which I thought was very beautiful!
What a lovely start to winter!
So fun to see Hazel experiencing the snow!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with you about the snow on the fence!
Beautiful winter wonderland. Hazel is a real little trooper. Great to see you both enjoying it so much. The change in seasons gives us just what we need for a little excitement in life. God is so good.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting again Tonisha, such a highlight for us. So nice that Hazel can walk confidently through the snow and that Nova is gentle with her. Enjoy a well deserved break as you settle into the winter routine. Take good care and stay warm. Hugs from all of us, Tjvvs.
