anatomy of a snowstorm

cleaning off the top of my car this afternoon and saw the perfect anatomy of our snowstorm! about 6 or so inches of snow, followed by about .2 inches of ice (see the white line near the top) with another 1 of snow on top! but god loves north carolina, we were cleaning the snow off in sweaters while a neighbor shoveled (he owns a shovel???) in a tshirt!

waiting for snow

we have snow in the forecast today. in north carolina, when this happens, we wipe grocery stores clean of bread and milk and then we sit and wait. clearly, nc mourning doves stock up on food then sit and wait too!

maybe i was wrong

i was enchanted by the photos of the white stuff, falling everywhere but here. desperate for a bit of fluff. to step deep into winter and give myself to it.
but i was wrong. this little chocolate vine, new last spring, popped up and said hi, reminding me that i don't live in the dormant. i live for the spring.

green infusion

after the mini ice balls posing as snow incident, uninspiring weather and the tether of this cast, my soul got just what it needed. a green infusion, shot straight into my soul. reminding me that there is growth. there is rebirth. there is tomorrow and even better, that there is beauty, right here and right now. thanks little leaf. i'll be watching over your glorious life. enjoy it.

falling {faux} snow

happy 2013! new year's is supposed to be about creating what we want. i want today's gray sky to produce some snow. had to take matters into my own hands.

photo a day...let's pretend

let's pretend 

the blue is lake, frozen and deep

let's pretend the white 

is snow, drifted and sprawling

across the freeze
