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.

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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!
