It’s Snowing!

And it’s midnight. And Connor needs to go out before we go to bed. I usually walk him, but I don’t feel like putting on all of my snow gear like boots, gloves, a hat and a big coat. So I bundled Connor up instead, and sent him out back.I think that he looks like a Louis Vuitton handbag in this outfit, but it keeps him dry and it’s still snowing big chunky flakes.

He snuffled around for a while and then got down to business.

But not before he romped a little in the snow, and barked at me to come out with him.

I did go out a little earlier with him and I tried to light the candles in the candelabra hanging from the tree.

The snow had wet the wicks enough that they were difficult to light and the wind was blowing enough that only one candle stayed lit for more than a minute!

  1. Cool candelabra! I have a less elaborate one outdoors too and I found some fake candles that turn on at dusk and off automatically 6 hours later. I love it when it's "lit"!

    1. Lost... I will have to look for those candles! Are they battery operated?

    1. Thanks! It would have looked better with all of the candles lit!

  3. Connor has the most sweetest eyes. He does look like a LV bag to be honest. The outdoor chandelier is stunning.

  6. It was my first thought that he looked like a LV bag.

    Would be cool if you could get the chandelier lit with all that snow on the tree.

    1. The flakes were so big and the wind was blowing. Just wouldn't go.

  7. I did walk my lab at 11:30 and it was great, not a soul around and inches deep snow. We both had a good time. Unfortunately he doesn't have a LV lookalike jacket and he could not do his business.

    1. I would have walked him, but it was really howling, and i was lazy!

  8. Oh, how funny! You should really suggest that to Louis Vuitton -- I'll bet they'd sell a ton of LV dog coats!

    Your snow is so beautiful. We miss that here in NC -- the temperature dropped last night and the water froze in the dog bowl outside, but even if it snowed I doubt it would stick.

    Happy New Year, Meg!

    1. When i got the coat for him - at the Junior League shop - I didn't realize what it would look like!

  9. What a beautiful snow scene! The candelabra looks so enchanting in your Winter tree. Must say though that Connor in his spiffy coat, tops it all. My Labs also love to go out around midnight. When I am ready to turn in, they are ready for a late night romp!

  10. Yes to the LV look! My husband had to shovel out a path for our mini Schnauzer because s notometimes the drifts were taller than he was. As he got older if the path was cleared to his specs he'd go out briefly and come back inside and leave his displeasure on the carpet. He showed us!

    1. We had to clear paths when we had the blizzards a few years ago, but when he was desperate, he'd go!

  15. Right now I'm just so in love with a chandelier in a tree outside in the snow that I can't really think straight.
