Woke to Snow for our 44th anniversary

January 20, 2012 at 7:15 a.m. the sun coming up was so pretty peeking thru the spruce tree branches

Today, Tom and I are celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary and we woke up to see that it had snowed. There is about 4 inches of the white stuff on the ground. More snow is expected today and tomorrow. I snapped a couple pictures from the kitchen steps and thru the bedroom window.
our 2 stray kitties who were waiting patiently at the bottom of the kitchen steps while I put out food for them. We named the kitties..Jr. who is on left. Jr. looks just like our rescued Tuffy, and the kitty on the right is Muffy. The kitties will come into the house to eat, but are still very skittish. They do stay sheltered and out of the cold/wet as they sleep in the dog house that the dog never used.

Muffy looking into the kitchen hoping my kitties will come out to play. Aren't they cute?

Muffy and Jr meow at me

thru the door and stare at my 2 kitties

 

I thought these snow covered branches were really pretty...looked like white icicles.  

  

pretty male cardinal in my butterfly bush. I had to really zoom in to get this picture, as I was standing inside my kitchen to take the bird photos.

I can't remember where I found this cookie on the internet, but thought it was adorable. The head is a marshmallow.  The sun is shining brightly right now, and some of the snow is melting.
Check back later today, because I am going to be posting another little giveaway because my blog has had over 30,000 views. Thanks to all of you. :-)
