Snow on the Bluff

/

We were surprised that the dusting we were suppose to receive overnight turned into a all day snowstorm dumping 6”-7” of beautiful, fluffy snow which for this part of Central Virginia is actually a lot. Since the snow arrived on a weekend we were able to get out take some pictures and just enjoy the wonderful crisp and clear air.

Back Porch - Part II

/

Back in January I shared exterior photos of our finished screened porch and how happy we were with how it had turned out. It looks like it has always been there. We then set off trying to find all the matching pieces to make it feel like an additional room to our house and I think we have accomplished it.

Thanks to Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, Lowes and a few things we had already the interior decor took shape and I just know we will have so many happy times sitting out here, bug free as we go through the years.


It’s Done!

/

Finally I can share pictures of our new screened porch and lower deck which has been a dream of ours since we built the house. It’s going to be so enjoyable sitting out there anytime we want, especially in the summer when I won’t have to worry about getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Now to buy furniture and decor :)

The doors will be painted white in the spring to match the rest of the house. We love it!!!

Family Pool Party

/

To celebrate Guy's birthday we decided to host a family pool party. Instead of me behind the camera all day I instead handed the camera to Jameson (age 4 1/2) and let him go for it. Sure some of the pictures have fingers in them but that is half the fun. Not sure who captured the photos with him in them but so glad they were able to get him having fun too.

The Squirrels of the Bluff

I was trying to get some shots of the yard birds earlier this week and while waiting for them to arrive some of the squirrels who live here on the bluff decided to put on a little comedy show for me. Make sure you check out Red our Red-tailed squirrel. Look how she blends into the trees so well.

I know many don't like squirrels and I do get frustrated when they empty my feeders but I do see a cuteness in them that you can't take away. You?


A new view

/

The wood pile was never suppose to be where it is located.

When our lot was cleared the builder made a decision to place it where it was, without asking me and it ruins the sight line out our dining room window. Everyone who comes to my house knows how much I hate it.

We are working to burn/cut/have carted away as much as we can, as quickly as we can but still it remains a huge eyesore. That was until the other night when I caught a glimpse out the window that provided a new view of the pile.

She found the corn we have out for the squirrels. I loved watching her and will be putting more corn out in that area with the hopes she comes back soon.
