Winter Wonderland...in Coats?!?

The very same day that Bradley and I were in Boone, Central NC had a huge snow...the biggest in at least 5 or more years! The roads were totally clear until we got closer to home too! Amazing.


As we were driving into Harnett County we noticed the beautiful look of the Cape Fear River in Lillington. We drive over this bridge all of the time...at least once a week for sure! But never have we seen it look this amazing.


This is the pond down the street from our house. When it is warmer outside (and before we had our lovely fenced in backyard) we walk Baxter down here. He loves to jump in the water and chase the frogs...although I don't know how eager to get in the water he'd be today! :)


Another shot of the pond. One of the neighboorhood kids built a tiny little snowman on the picnic table.


This was our first view of our house after the snow. We measured the snow in the front yard last night and it was 6 1/2 inches, although, I'm convinced that there are deeper spots. I measured in a spot that looked like it wasn't very deep.


I just love the look of the woods covered with snow.


Bradley is about to let Baxter out of his dog run. The snow was so thick that it had covered the links on the chain link fence so we could barely see him. He was so happy that we were home!


The woods in our backyard. They definitely don't look this pretty without the snow! :)


The other side of the backyard.


We weren't sure what Baxter would do in the snow. He's been in very little snow in his lifetime. But he absolutely loved it. He was leaping through it and rolling around on his back. He just wanted to play and play and play.


Baxter was so happy to play in the snow with Bradley!
