Day After Thanksgiving Snow!


Matt and I enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with our friends at John and Connie's home. It was a relaxing evening and we enjoyed the food. Matt and I made pumpkin and apple pie and Matt made rolls. That evening it began to snow - just enough to make things white.

Today, Matt and I got up and did some animal cage cleaning chores. Before we left, I noticed the birds out at my feeder were lining up on the crabapple tree, which is still sporting its red fruit. I took a few quick pics. The house finches with their red breasts look beautiful! It was hard to focus the camera with the window in the way though....



We left home to get the tree around 12:00, and noticed that although it wasn't sticking, there were some pretty big flakes coming down. By the time we got the tree it was snowing big old flakes and it looked like a Currier and Ives postcard! What fun! We managed to get the tree up on the truck and got it home in safety. Will post pics of the decorating etc. tomorrow!

would you belive that we have only had one snow here- and it was in october! I am jealous that you get to have a real tree. I guess i could go out and get one, but it would cost me a small fortune. We have our tree up. I will post some pics of it.

I love the bird pictures with the crab apples! It looks like their own little Thanksgiving :-). I'm not jealous about the snow, but it sure is beautiful!
