Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Making the Best of a Dusting of Snow~

This has been one of the mildest winters that we have had in a very long time...no complaining coming from me...I promise! 
We may still have some surprises, but with spring edging closer, it just might be that these kind of snow dustings will be all that we shall see this season. 
The twins came over the other day after some snow had fallen and the husby and I decided to take them out on the sled.  This is the same sled that their momma used to be pulled around on when she was their age. 
Meaka, our pup-cub was all to willing to join in the fun as well. 
I hope that everyone is feeling well and that your coming week will be filled with joy and warmth and good health...take good care~



The twins turn 3 next month...this is Cullen. 
He is 1 minute older than his brother...
I am 2 minutes older than my twin sister Haze~


Who could say no snow play to those beautiful brown eyes...pleading to please let her romp in the snow too~




And this is Kerrick...
the twins have really different little personalities,
and they are so cute, watching out for each other~



Ready, set go...catch me if you can~


Bill enjoyed pulling the boys all around our two acres...
Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go...
Ok it is a creek and it is Nana's house...same difference though... well maybe, sort of~





Faster Papa, faster...go that way...go over there Papa~

  3. The kids certainly made the most of the snow, as did you with your lovely photos. Guess it's that time of year when the weather can't decide whether to be winter- or spring-like!

  4. Your's was a dusting, ours was the heaviest we have had in the weird year - four inches. It was the first time this year I started the snowblower. More coming.

    Great pictures. Looks like the kids and dog had fun.

  9. My goodness - lovely! I'm Nana to two little boys too - but they are 15 months apart and live far, far away. I'm counting the days now until they visit in May!

  10. This is so fun, I loved this post ! Your grandsons are very cute and I also loved the photos of your beautiful dog. I really like the way you put it all on collages, or is it storyboards ? Your photos are always so beautiful. Beautiful photos of the crocus and rhododendruns too.
