This is our home. I took this picture last evening. I love our house in the snow!!
Some people long for the big, modern, majestic homes, but I am not one of them. I can drive through a modern neighborhood and not notice a single thing about a house. I feel nothing. Put me on a country road with 100+ year old homes and I can tell you the character I feel from each house. These houses have a history, they are a part of a different time; a time I wish to have known.
We have kept the cedar shake shingles on our home as true to the country red it was when it was first painted. I could never picture any other color on this house. The red is a statement to me boasting of the farming homestead it was created for so long ago. (You can see pictures of updates to our home here: Little Red House)
We planted a burm of blue spruce trees in front of our property. When they are snow covered they make the house even more beautiful! It’s like a Christmas card scene to me.
Here are some of the other pictures I took Thursday before the snow came and again last night while we were getting a nice dusting of snow.
We place 6 fake Christmas trees throughout the property and enjoy looking out at night at the sparkling lights in the open. Thursday was the day to set them up as the ground was not frozen and the temperatures were moderate. The night picture is 4 of the trees in the back.
And last night the snow came and the trees were beautifully lit.
We had a nice amount of snow falling throughout the day and night yesterday. After barn chores were done, I decided to pay a visit to the cute little snow bunnies all cozy in their house for the night.
This is our home.
