…and so it begins…..

Snow on the trees

I know that you all have seen these 2 trees in many of my pictures.  Spring, summer, fall and winter.  While technically it is still fall, what you see is what we got today…..looks more like winter to me. 🙂

1st snow
After the winter we had last year, I don't think enough time has passed by for Ken to forget.  He came home muttering and sputtering………..but me, I have to honestly say, my first words when I woke this morning were "wheeeeeeee"!

Maggie snow

I think that Maggie agreed with me. She was so excited with this first real snow of the season. She ran and romped like a crazy dog, while the others just looked on as though she had 2 heads….yep, a crazy dog.

Cleo snow

Cleo on the other hand……….well, it's not a very good picture, but I think her expression pretty much sums it up.  She's in complete agreement with Ken. 

Of course I don't have to shovel it as much as Ken does, so there is that…but give me the cold snowy weather any time over the hot humid stuff. 🙂

In closing I have a favor to ask you.  Can you look at your monitor settings and tell me what your screen resolution is?  To do this, just right click on your desktop, go to properties and settings and you should see your screen resolution there.

When I did my website a few weeks ago, I was working in one resolution and then the kids tinkered a bit with the settings.  I noticed that at this higher resolution my website had a big white square on the left….which it is not supposed to have, so it got me to thinking.  If most people use a higher resolution, then I will have to make some adaptations, to make it load up correctly.  Personally I use a little lower resolution but then I am as blind as a bat. 🙂

Thanks grrls!

  1. Could not find the resolution. I am so envious of your snow. I think your pups are perfectly expressive. I would be like Maggie: “Where are my skis?? Where are my skiis? Nownownownownow!”

  2. snow! sooooo beautiful, but then down here in middle Georgia we react a little differently to snow :-)). Haven’t had any in years now. The resolution on my computer is set for 1024 by 768.

    Mid-October, winter spent some time in Wyoming, but since then the temperatures are more seasonal. A nice Indian Summer has settled in my area. I tend to agree with Ken – bah humbug!

  4. 1440 x 900. How much snow did you get? 6 inches? We got lots of rain. The lawn went from frozen to squishy. My labs love the snow like your Maggie. They scoop it up with their noses and lick it off. Then they slide nose first like seals with their butts high in the air. And roll around in it. Fun times!

  5. 1024 by 768 pixels, I’m SO jealous of the amount of snow you received! In southern NH, I got tons of rain…great. Did you know that rain can come in through closed windows? Yes, I found that out today. Snow can’t. I’ll take snow any day, at least you can shovel it, what can you do with the rain?

    I’m praying for snow for Christmas…only had it once in my life and it was 3 days old…really not pretty anymore after everyone had driven on it.

  7. Kim- I’ll have to get back to you on the resolution.
    Dogs. They are so funny. I have a lab that hates to get wet, but she loves snow. And give me winter over summer any time.

    I’m glad I got rain. I want 3″ of snow Christmas Eve (I’ll get a refund of $75 – a store marketing campaign)and I want to build one snowman and have one snowball fight sometime in January. Other than that, I’ll be dreaming of warmer weather.

    Thanks for the snow pictures! It has been cold enough for it here and the sky actually looked like it the other day but other than a few random flakes the other morning…no snow!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

  10. Hi Kim
    I have a new IMac and it is set at 1680 x 1050.
    I love the pictures of the pups and the snow. We only have a couple of inches and our lake is frozen. Almost time for snowmobiling and sledding. Have and wonderful Thanksgiving.

  11. 1024 x 768. No blank white boxes.
    I love the snow! However, last winter was my first having to drive 60 miles round trip for work. . . with the highest snowfall we’ve had in about thirty years! I was plenty tired of it by the time March rolled around. I’m with you though; I’ll still take it over hot and humid any day!

  12. 1280 x 800 is my screen resolution. The snow is beautiful! I love the snow…until about mid-January, when the charm has worn off. By April, I’ve really had enough! But we can enjoy it for now…

  13. 1024×768 on the work computer… certainly higher at home…
    Those of us slightly to the south envy your snow. We got pouring horrid rain.. and I have a Pyrenees. While she doesn’t mind the rain, I mind the rain, and the mud, and the rubbing of the rain soaked nose on my bed/couch/rug. Soon, we too shall have the fluffy white stuff to romp in (for some reason I don’t mind cleaning up snow!)

  15. Oh, my! We were without power for twenty-six hours!!!!! We just got it back on. We didn’t get the snow, just horrible, horrible wind. The snow is really pretty. I have a Meggie, Golden Retriever. She doesn’t like the snow, but my male Golden loves it. Your doggies are so sweet! Happy Turkey Day!
