We Were Headed Home But. . .

. . . the storm moved in blanketing our route with snow and ice. Mountain Man took one look at the Weather Channel and said “We aren’t going anywhere.” Oh, well, as the wise Winnie The Pooh said, “Rivers know there is no hurry. We will get there someday.”
And how better to spend a day than to grab your hiking buddy (Logan) and spend the day enjoying nature. With the snow falling and the wind whipping, we had the world all to ourselves. Here’s some of the photos:
Logan always runs ahead and then back to me. I’m not doing much running these days.
That’s our ranch off in the distance.
The trees looked magical in this winter landscape.
Home again greeted by Toby who had spent the day sleeping in a snow bank as newfies are prone to do.
We ended up with about a foot of snow but thankfully no ice storm and no power outages. Looks like we’ll be here for a few more days.
I love your beautiful snowy photos
Stay warm.

Great photos. Sorry you're delayed but hope the weather clears up soon and you have a safe and uneventful trip back home!

I love your snow pictures too. We've been having snow here off and on since last night. Sometimes it's hard pebbly bits of ice and the next minute it changes into fat fluffy flakes that remind me of our wedding day.
Glad you're tucked in safe until the weather changes.

I love looking that last photo with the snow all over that scruffy black fur. My dogs love the snow.

That's some storm alright. Yikes. I can't imagine living in snow country. Just can't.
Have a terrific day and weekend.

There is something magical about a little snow covering.

I can't think of a better way to be delayed. Beautiful snow
We got it, too! Lost power for about 10 hours. Thank goodness we heat by wood and have oil lamps!
Now it is sleeting-ugh.
Could you pass on the giveaway for Ariat boots on blog? Great giveaway for an awesome pair of boots for us farm gals and guys and even city folk! I know I can't afford to buy these boots right now with J in school and a lot of critters to feed LOL!
Stay warm, friend.

The pictures are awesome! I love the pic of your newfie! Reminds me of our dog, Juneau (he was a Samoyed). He LOVED to just sit in a pile of snow and stay there. He had his snuggly bed in the garage, but, no, he'd rather sit in the snow and have it get piled on top of him.
Hope the weather clears soon so that you can head on home!

I think Mountain Man made a good call there. No sense in traveling in a snow storm unnecessarily. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were still in Vermont by the looks of these pictures! Glad you didn't have any power outage.

What a day to go for a walk. Hope its not as cold as it looks.

Thank goodness! I worried about y'all when that storm moved in. We got it, too, and the fear was of ice on top of the snow; thankfully, we seem out of danger of that. Y'all just sit tight and enjoy a few more days of snowy bliss!

The snow looks so beautiful…being its a long ways away from me!!!
Safe travels once you do get to head off for the mountain.

come on home,… nothing bad brewing here for the next 10 days. (according to The Weather Channel online) then who knows! Safe traveling!

That was some storm, I was just reading about Tennessee. Glad MM decided to remain behind for a few days. That would have been some bad traveling weather. Logan and Toby are so handsome!

Great pictures and I'm glad you didn't lose power! I can't stand that when that happens! Are you glad to be getting home???
Date: January 31, 2010
The pics are nice, but even the pics make me cold just looking at them.Wise decision to stay put!

If the delay gave you these wonderful pictures it was worth it !

We FINALLY got a bit of snow yesterday, about 2". I am always fascinated with how the snow sticks to the trees. And it is great to spend the day out in it : )

Amazing photos. I wish we'd had a bit more snow over here, I'm jealous!

Great photos..sorry you are stuck..are you all done with the ranch house? I thought you would be there in the Ozarks till spring. Have a safe trip back to Red Pine Mountain..was it the chiggers that did you in? Skin so soft oil for prevention.. and Absorbine Junior to take away the itch..we get chiggers up here in June..nasty little buggers:(

If you can't get home to your Vermont winter, then it is trying to come to you.
Glad you aren't out there on the roads, though.
