Winter Wonderland (pics of my backyard!)

I took these today and thought I'd share them. This is the view from our backdoor. Didn't even step outside, just opened the patio door. Anyone wanna go sledding?

Lucky duck! All we got was rain today

 

[minniecarousel]

WOW!

Don't see that around here!

yes, I admit it is very pretty as long as someone else has it and not me. Would be so happy if I never had to deal with snow again. no more shoveling, no driving in it, no more having to walk through it, just look at it from the distance.

Gorgeous! That's what I'm dreaming of when DH can retire and we leave this steamy pit called Florida!

I have to admit I know what you mean.

Whenever I send pics like this back to DH's family and friends in CA they all say how pretty it looks and how jealous they are. Yeah, easy to say when you're looking at a photo. Try living in it daily for 4-6 moths!

Although sometimes it helps to hear their comments in a way, because it helps me see the beauty in it rather than the hassles of it.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting. I miss snow.

I'd LOVE to go sledding again; I miss that too. Methinks you need a bit bigger hill though.

People think DH and I are nuts because we want to retire someplace that actually has four seasons a year.

I agree with the beauty...also thankful that we can go to the beach in January here is the gray-sky state.

Very pretty picture!

I'm jealous. All our snow is long gone. It poured here today

Beautiful - though I was also wondering how you sled with out hill! Looks like a prime spot for cross country skiing though.

At the end of our road, which is a private road BTW so not many cars, is a big hill that the kids always go sledding on. Right within walking distance so we don't even have to drive anywhere. Just grab the sleds and go.

How pretty! I miss the snow so much and your yard looks like a winter wonderland. Thanks for sharing.

 

[ChrisnSteph]

That's beautiful! I'm jealous - we never get snow!

 

[N.Bailey]

That looks beautiful. Post card quality to tell you the truth, BUT.......You keep it there!!!

We only got rain here too and I'm quite happy about it.

This is actually really good for me to read some of these comments.
As some of you may know I haven't had the easiest time adjusting to life here in northern MI, to put it mildly. Okay so I complain non-stop and drive everyone nuts!
Anyways sometimes it's good to see something from another's perspective to be able to finally appreciate it. What I'm trying to say is thanks.
