Blowing and Drifting Snow

After Four Days of Falling Snow...We have all of this...and as you look at these pictures, you can actually see it piling up!  The little black fence you can see in front of the plants in the earlier pictures, no longer shows in the last few, after the snowfall yesterday.  The scenery will all be changing,  as warmer temperatures and rain are predicted for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  {click any of the pictures to see them larger}  Just when you get a good...
snow, the temperature always rises and it always rains...and washes all the pretty snow away.  I've always hated that.  {Don't tell anyone, but I do like snow - just don't like driving in it!}

I had hubby shovel a path around the perimeter of our Courtyard so that our 2 Pups would have a
track to run around on and they are thoroughly enjoying it.  Rosie, our Toy Poodle runs around and then jumps into the middle of the foot of snow at the center of the track.  She loves snow!

Jasper loves running around with Rosie, but hasn't yet jumped in the middle of the snow.






The courtyard is about 1500 square feet of space, including our porch that has 2 sets of steps, one down each side of the porch.  The Pups include the Steps and Porch in their running around the courtyard.


I designed the Courtyard and Hubby built it...in 2009...it was actually started in early spring, before we got our dogs.  Jasper came to live with us in May, 2009; Benny in June 2009 and Rosie in May 2010.   The Courtyard was completed in July 2009.

We're so glad we have a secure place for the Pups to run and play.



All of the pictures were taken from inside the house, from both my Office Window and the Dining Room Windows.

Hope you're staying warm and having a Blessed Week!

  1. Hi Jan, Love your snowy pics and what memories these bring back to me. You have a wonderful courtyard and I remember when you designed it and your hubby built it. I can see the pups would really enjoy running around. I am sure it gives them a boost of energy in the cold air.
    Stay warm and have a great week up to Christmas.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

  2. Hi Jan! Oh, it gorgeous at your house! The snow is so pretty but I'll bet it's so cold! Stay warm. We saw quite a bit of snow last week in New York. Hope your heart is healing, my friend.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)
