It is BEAUTIFUL! Starting about 4:30 a.m. - the big, light, fluffy flakes came in waves. Butch had an appointment at the VA Hospital in Omaha at 9:30 a.m. He asked if I wanted to go along. Well, sure! He had the Bronco warming up! I trust the Bronco over any vehicle - to get us anywhere & home in bad weather.

On Hwy 75 North toward Omaha~ |
We stopped at Cracker Barrel in Council Bluffs for a late breakfast/early lunch on the way home. A few people were out braving the roads & weather.
Once home, I used the blower on the porch & deck, while Butch shoveled walks!

Butch & his shovel! |
The temperature seems to be holding at 27° & thankfully there's not a lot of wind.

A winter scene~ |
I know we'll be living with this snow for days & days, but it's just so pretty! Nothing like the wet, heavy, snow we had in WA. There was only one year I can think of where we had a light & large snowfall. We took the horses out galloping & it was so much fun!

The Woods~ |
Butch filled the bird feeder, but the Squirrels have managed to find a way to jump over to it. If we cut down one small tree, it will stop their antics, but I really don't want to. It takes forever to grow trees!

Winter Wonderland~ |
Nika had gone to Omaha with us. She enjoys road trips in the winter, rather than staying home alone. Of course a little scrambled egg leftovers, made the trip worthwhile :-) She's always been such a good traveler.

Nika waits ~ |
Watching everything Butch does, she waits attentively & listens to every sound! Our first real snowy day of the season, I'm going to start the rug I've been putting off for just such a day!
