Friday! Snowday!!!

We woke up to a splendid snow experience!!
It must have snowed all night! 


So beautiful!

 





And so DEEP!!
Here's Rachel's daughter going back to the small cabin!


Wow!


I'm loving this and taking note of how to paint snow scenes.....


I love how the snow is resting on the branches.....


and how the snow 'clumps' on the evergreen branches.


It's a winter wonderland!

This is a great snow day!


Rachel and Jesse cooked up a huge breakfast of bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy and eggs!
Mimosas made it even more special!

This is a great day for eating, board games, books, movies, naps, and just hanging out in front of a roaring fireplace!


Neighbor Steven was out plowing the roads leading out of Loma Linda and then turned to plowing out the driveways of all his neighbors!


What a blessing he is!





Later in the afternoon, Jesse and I drove down to Mora to pick up a few things and for me to visit a gift shop that Rachel discovered that had some pretty turquoise jewelry. Plus we needed cilantro for the street tacos Rachel is making for dinner tonight! 


Once out of Loma Linda - the roads were good!
Alas, when we got to Mora, the businesses were closed due to no power!
But it was a beautiful drive!


Rachel made street tacos for our last meal and it was delicious!
(Even without the cilantro!)


Good Friday night from the mountain cabin in Tres Rios, New Mexico!
It has been a week we will always remember!!!

Sounds like a perfect day. The snow is so pretty. I'm not a big fan of going out in it but if I can just watch it through a window it's beautiful.

What a magical way to end your time in New Mexico.
I love all the pictures of the snow resting on the branches.
Looking forward to seeing your future snow paintings.
They will be awesome.

Wonderful pictures and memories. The snow is so beautiful and being inside with warm socks and fireplace, family, fun, games and movies.. Is this heaven? Maybe a taste.

It reminds me of the years we spent a Late Tahoe, and one winter it looked like your pictures. We saw beautiful snow gueese on the front area and the lake was beautiful surrounded by mountains of snow.

You and Louis Dean look so happy and healthy...keeping you in my prayers.

Gotta love a good snow day! They are great days just to stay inside and enjoy the beauty of the fresh fallen snow.

I have missed the snow this winter! Usually we deal with snow like that every year, but not this year for sure. I do love the magic of a white world. :)
