First snow in Virginia

I'm pretty sure I'll drive my friends crazy on Facebook if I don't slow down with the snow pictures already. But it's soooo pretty in Virginia. And unlike our decade in Alaska, this snow is mostly fleeting.

Riley was born in Houston in 2012. She's never seen snow before and I'm pretty sure up until it made her poor toes and fingers numb, she loved it.

There's something special about the first snow around here. It's quiet. The cows move noiselessly through the paddocks and even into our yard if we're not mindful of the gate.

The red barn I love so much looks even more gorgeous in the snow, too.
