Yesterday, we got about eight inches of snow, and more is expected on Sunday and then again next week. It’s shaping up to be quite the snowy winter. Thank goodness for Little Green. Once upon a time, Clif, the girls, and I shoveled it all by hand. Those days are gone, gone, gone, especially since it is just two of us here at the little house in the big woods.
Cleaning up after a storm is a lot of work, but the snow does leave our yard and home looking like a winter wonderland.
Our cozy home tucked in the snow!
Ariel, the flying pig, is about to be buried.

Today, I’ll be making apple pie, and our friends Cheryl and Denny will be coming over for an afternoon tea.
Nothing like pie on a cold winter’s day. (The one below is from another time.)
Notes From the Hinterland 
The house looks very snug and cozy with all the snow! We were only 26 degrees when we woke up this morning which is a little chilly for NC – by Sunday it’s going to be in the mid to high 70s!
Very cozy and very chilly! Up and down in your neck of the woods, that’s for sure!
So the forecast was spot on. I like the pie
More snow to come! Good thing we had that pie to give us energy.
And that to me is perfect pie weather!! Stay warm and safe, xo Johanna
Will do Johanna! Same to you.
Forget the snow. The apple pie is much more interesting and delicious. 🙂
Where you are, you can forget all about the snow 😉
Oh yes. A snow-day and pie!
A winning combination.
Now that I don’t have to drive in it very often, I completely the cozy house time after shoveling. Apple pie and a snow day. Heaven.

Ginene, it makes a big difference if you have to drive in the snow. We’ve had more than our share of terror drives. Nowadays, we can stay in our own cozy home while it snows and not worry about slippery roads.
Your house looks so sweet in all that snow – not sure I have ever seen a picture of the whole thing.
Aw, thanks Jodie. I might not have taken a picture of the whole house. It does look sweet tucked in all that snow.
Oh, Laurie, batten down the hatches! It looks like a major snow dump is about to hit. Pull up to the stove, make another pie, and crack open a good book. Hasn’t the moon on the snow these past days been amazing? Time to embrace winter and enjoy the ride.
Brenda, we’re getting ready, cleaning up the last of the snow from the previous storm, bringing in wood, and going to the store to stock up on a few things. There will be treats to help us get through the next storm. Winter is here, and we are embracing it. You, too, along with your husband and Capp, stay snug and warm.
I imagine you snug in your cozy home, with wafts of fresh apple pie circulating – yum!
Thanks, Eliza! A lovely smell!
Just a Little Green like when spring is born…, there will be crocuses to bring to school…Joni Michell’s achingly beautiful song is now in my mind… What lovely snow! I mostly view snow up high on mountain tops here in San Bernardino. I love seeing Maine through your eyes.
Thanks, Betsy!
Snow makes winter a delight instead of a drag! Your pie looks delicious. Fortunate friends!
I served the pie warm, and it was pretty darned good, if I do say so myself 😉
Cold and fluffy snow outside, warm apple pie inside. Paradise!
Pretty darned good! More pie next week. I’m on an apple binge.
