Rural Thursday Blog Hop #2

I had Cows, Goats, Sheep and Alpaca's planned for today.
Some real genuine, rural farm stuff,
but then it snowed. 
Now anyone who follows my blog knows just how much I love the snow! 

So we're gonna "can" the farn animals for this week,
and focus on the good stuff...snow!


Now don't be laughing...


it's not about quantity, it's about quality!!


It's just so pretty,


you don't need a lot,


just a little dusting,


and a little bit of ice!!


And you know we will always end with a little "love"!!




and



Please stop by these amazing blogs and consider joining the fun!!

    I am glad you changed your mind! Snow is beautiful (more than goats?) :)
    Those branches are lovely with some sugar powder on it.

    Okay, we'll let you get by with the snow this time, Debbie (especially since that's what I posted about too!) But we want some critters next week! Lol.

    So winter came in at your place to!
    We almost had it. There's still snow but after the weekend they promised temperatures will rise. Everybody is
    skating on the frozen lakes and canels. It's beautiful to see but it's time spring comes in.
    Warm wishes from a very cold, but feeled with blue skies and sun Holland

    We're supposed to get some snow tomorrow - not a lot, but enough! I hope I get to go for a walk in it! Anyway...enough about me! These are such pretty shots - I think I love the one with all the evergreens and the lamp the most. It's very dramatic!

    We only got a dusting here ... and that was early winter. Now it's just rain. But you're right, a little bit of snow brings out the magic!!!

    And the heart IS the magic!!!
