We got 6-8 inches of snow overnight and woke
up to a winter wonderland!
I watched cats chase snowflakes,
baked several kinds of cookies for an order,
filled bird feeders and took lots of pictures!

DeleteGorgeous day, though...loved it!
Nice set you were really busy.
ReplyDeletehappily busy! :) Are you buried, too!?
DeleteIt's just beautiful! However, I'm so glad that it missed us. :)
ReplyDeletehaha...I'll take it from you this time. :) You've already had your share!
DeleteWow, gorgeous! That's what we thought we were getting too. But alas, once again it was mostly rain and chilly besides. Starting to feel desperate for warm sunshine and the scent of earth and flowers!!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look yummy.
spring fever hasn't hit me yet. IT seems too early! But when it comes, I'll love it...itchy allergy eyes and all. hahaha.
DeleteMaybe the snow just hasn't reached you yet?
Beautiful! Now you have Narnia!
ReplyDeleteExactly! It was magical to wake up to...so thick and beautiful! Did you get any?
DeleteNot a bit.
DeleteBeautiful! Each and every one!! Stay warm and enjoy. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteStayed warm all day, except when I filled the feeders and took pictures! ha.
DeleteYou know I love so much snow and the pictures are awesome! And I know you work so much Betsy; I love your strawberries always forget add chocolate to someones lol!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures and thanks God the little Cocoa is with you!
It was such a nice day to be in the kitchen baking and that beautiful snow to look at through the windows! It's March, so that could be our last snow of winter!
Deletelittle Cocoa is so sweet, isn't he? I loved that picture. :)
Your days will be fall soon and cooler! I love fall!
I was thinking you had. a lovely day baking and the snow Is lovely:)
DeleteYes at night is really cold and day is hot!
For this I have a cold now (im in bed now) hope be better tomorrow.
Oh, hope you feel better tomorrow!
DeleteThat one of the male cardinal in all the white snow is awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you make your Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake??? I did..:o)
Looks like you had a lovely day....good on you!!!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I'm going to bake mine this weekend...can't' wait! yum!
Deletewow those pictures are just beautiful, what lens did you use to get those bird close ups, I would love to do that I love the tight close shots of the cookies too, I have a nikon just not sure which lens is correct for such beautiful close up shots, do I need a macros, what ever that is...lol would love your help, thanks for pictures...
ReplyDeleteI have a Nikon, too...it's a coolpix P100 and it has a built in zoom...no lens to change. It's great for birds...I don't even have to leave my desk chair! ha.
DeleteBeautiful arrangement of photos, Betsy!
ReplyDeletethank you! Are you buried in snow?
DeleteSome areas had 9 inches, but we only had about 5 or so. It was much less than expected and did not seem so bad for what was supposed to be a big storm.
DeleteNo snow at my house (THANK GOODNESS!)
ReplyDeletelooks like you had some good eats along the way as well...we got about half that...and sadly the sun stole most of it late in the afternoon..so i guess we are back to school tomorrow...dang...smiles.
ReplyDeletewell, I hope you enjoyed today anyway! Could be our last snow day of the season! I thought I heard VA was under a state of emergency with all the snow you got. Maybe I heard that wrong. We're back to school tomorrow, too...the roads are clear! ha.
DeleteLovely serie...
ReplyDeletePierre
thank you! It is just beautiful!
DeleteThat must have been such a beautiful sight to see. It is amazing that the birds survive there. I thought most of the birds fly to the south before the winter season would come. I thought it was why we have so many birds here during the winter and they all seem to like the dog food. Maybe if I put cat food out there then they would eat that too. The possums like the dog food too if they can get to it before the dogs get to them. Pit bulls just seem to want to eat the possums whereas the cats stay away from them. Possums are sure scary looking when they hiss.
ReplyDeleteI think you do take such great pictures of birds and your camera takes such good close ups. I also like how you contrast the snow with normal everyday things. And now I have an urge for sweet treats but I think it is just best for me to stare at your pictures and pretend I am eating them. Oh how much I love lemon bars but hubby dislikes them and so I would have to eat them all. They look so yummy for my tummy.
God bless.
We do have warm weather birds that are here from spring to fall...humming birds, robins, gold finches, etc. But some are made for the cold weather and survive!
DeleteI am not a possum fan. Ew. We had one eating the cat food outside and I stopped putting food out there. If cats want to eat, they have to come in. ha.
Wish you lived close...you and I could polish off a plate of lemon bars together! :)
Great shots as always at your zoo
ReplyDeleteBut you know I can't go without an ewwwww
Thanks for keeping it all down there
And not letting it come to our lair
You know I'll gladly keep it
Deleteand not have even one fit!
It's as lovely as can be,
my big white snow sea.
ha.
Absolutely stunning photos, Betsy! I especially love the one with the cardinal and the one with one of your black kitties -- beautiful contrast against the snow in both of them. I have a bad case of spring fever so I'm happy that the snow stayed south of us but I'm glad you're still enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteIt was especially fun to watch the kittens chase snow flakes! :)
DeleteI do not have spring fever. ..I think I'm the only one!
Wonderful photos...I'm glad I don't have to do any snow shoveling, however; but I love to look at snow pictures. Cookies, too. As others have mentioned, your photo of the cardinal surrounded by snowy branches is really beautiful. How that red pops out!
ReplyDeleteThat cardinal was so fun to photograph...the only bit of color in that sea of white!
DeleteAs always, amazing photos Betsy! A sight for sore eyes! We got slammed with snow and sleet and rain and ice and then lost power....ugh! It was a long night but it's back now. I hope that's it for the season. Aren't red cardinals so pretty in the snow? I filled up our feeders twice yesterday. The birds were going crazy. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow images, I am like you, I too love every season, although in march I do wish winter would end. Ok this is a comment better suited for your latest post, but I am catching up.;)
