I started this post this morning but just got around to finishing it this evening. I didn’t take any extra time with my pictures in my scrapbook program and just threw it together. So here goes from where I started this morning.

I’m sitting here in our apartment watching the beautiful snow fall. In my early years I remember snow like this and I remember playing in it when we lived up north, but let me tell you I’m really enjoying watching the pretty snow fall. The branches of the trees are coated in pretty white and the ground is covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. I’ve got the Christmas music filling the air and it is truly a beautiful “Winter Wonderland”.

Below are a few pictures taken from our back yard this AM. I’m so in love with the beautiful private back yard and the snow is absolutely stunning to watch. We are expected to have a foot of snow by morning and I would venture to say we are close to a good 10 inches already.

As you can tell we are finally in our apartment (as of yesterday) and I love it, especially the part where we finally have a place to call home! Last evening we met our new neighbors John and Joanna and we clicked from the moment we met them. We were on our way out when Bobby and I noticed two dear approx 10 very short feet away from us. I couldn’t believe it so we stopped and stood and watched them for a moment. They didn’t seem to be afraid of us at all but they scampered just a wee bit as we passed by but they were right back once we passed. John and Joanna were out in the parking lot returning from their evening out when we struck up a conversation with them about the deer. We learned that another sweet neighbor feeds the deer birdseed and these deer have become the neighborhood pets, or so we were told. There are actually 3 deer that hang out and we saw the other one shortly thereafter. I’ll have to take a picture of our outdoor pets one day.

There is so much to do and so little time as I’m south this Sunday and Hubby will be catching up with me Wednesday. So I’ll be spending two weeks in the south and Hubby is so funny when he tells people like our new friends last night when he’s asked what our plans are for Christmas. He says in a drab voice “We gotta spend Christmas with the in-laws” as if he’s looking for sympathy and then he says “Down South”. John and Joanna were good sports as he started looking for his violin straight away.

I don’t know how much I’ll be around the blog sphere the next two weeks but I will definitely return when we get back home. Until then, many blessings to you and yours this Wonderful Christmas Season!
