Midland's Snowy Blanket

No snow for Christmas...

No snow the entire month of December...

But, last night the snow finally arrived in Midland,
in Michigan, and in many other states.

Not the destructive volumes of snow that buried cities in Alaska.

Not enough snow to close local schools.

But enough to cover the brown winter landscape.

Just a pretty, fluffy white blanket of snow.

Winter wonderland view outside my bedroom window. 

Pine tree tip bends from the weight of the snow.

A better view of the yard from another second story window.  

The bird feeder looks so tiny next to the mature trees.

I'll get my coat and head outside so I can get some close-up shots.

The snowmen placed on the decorative fence in December

 finally look at home.

Rhododendrons are buried from the snowfall.

Snow-covered branches of Japanese maple

frame the front entryway.

A picture perfect evergreen!

And the snowman puffs his rosy cheeks

and smiles at the beauty that surrounds him.

Until next time -- live and love well,
