Winter is here.
Just look at all that white stuff. Brrrrr….
But I’m not phased, nope, not one bit. Because I HAVE NEW BOOTS. Bought them the day before the storm. They’re black. Nothing natural about them. Rubber and I dunno, maybe Neoprene? Waterproof. Amazingly comfortable. And WARM.
And on my feet they are MAGIC. They’ve turned me into a snow kickin’, ass kickin’ INVINCIBLE woman. Like Superman’s cape, only better.
So I can run around outside all day. Break ice in the horse trough with a swift kick. Dig through snow looking for the water shutoff box (the frozen pipe is another story). I can do all that because my feet are HAPPY.
So take THAT, snow!
But it’s not all about frozen pipes and stuck pickups (I didn’t mention the truck stuck at the bottom of the drive, did I?) Oh no, because for all it’s inconvenience, there is no denying the beauty of the white stuff.
And now for a mindtrip…think of all the bazillions of snowflakes in those photos and then try, just TRY to wrap your brain around this.
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Back? Talk about MAGIC… Stunning. Breathtaking. Unbelievable. Each and every flake… I don’t know about you but I will never look at snow quite the same way again.
And now I’m out the door to buy Mr. Spouse a pair of boots just. like. mine. So he’ll quit whining complaining about his cold feet and enjoy what the universe has so generously shared.
So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
the white stuff
with the rain queen here:)
Glad about your boots.
I’m a big believer in the power
of a good pair of boots:)
Stay warm,
Jennifer

I would take rain, oh Rain Queen. My boots are waterproof and there’s something about splashing in those puddles that I’ve never outgrown.
Stay dry!

So so beautiful. I can almost hear the lovely sounds of the silence looking at those photos…..and smell the pine in the air! Thank you for this winter delight! 🙂
The silence only happened after this snowfall, Bonnie. This was one of those howling blowiy storms that shook the house and knocked on the roof all night. But after the storm…ah, there’s the blessed silence you’re talking about.
And I love the smell of winter around here! xo
Hello Susan!
Love the post! Makes me want to have some great ‘snow kickin’ boots of my own and make the most out of this weather. I love how you have made me take another look with a new set of eyes, and see this white blanket of snow around me as a package of tiny miracles just waiting for me to see it for what it is!
Thank you!

I can’t believe what a difference the boots have made in my attitude, Amy 🙂 . Something empowering about warm, dry feet.
And the miracle of those countless tiny crystals… you’re welcome!
