☃️ FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON ~ come and check out how it became 9 CM of SNOW ❄️ on 1 November 2024

Hi all 👋🏻😊

YEAH!!! THE FIRST SNOW AT MY CABIN ☃️❄️ I documented YESTERDAY the #accumulation of 9 cm of SNOW throughout the day. Let me also take you along today on a walk in the #garden and up the #mountain 🏔️ to show you this #WINTER #WONDERLAND from 1 NOVEMBER 2024 ☃️❄️
It is so #beautiful and it definitely feels like it is #Christmas 🎄already hahaha 🤣😂
I LOVE THE SNOW ☃️… if you would wonder.

Today’s selection will be of 60 PHOTOGRAPHS
Dates are: the 1 and 2 of November 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.

Let’s start right away… 😁

I knew for weeks that the snow would arrive soon. That’s why I was hurrying the last weeks with the paint work outside of the cabin to get it finished. As it is to cold 🥶 now for painting.

Yesterday was finally THE DAY IT ARRIVED ❄️☃️ I so was looking forward to it.
At 9:47 h it started with very… very light snow, almost not visible. My surroundings were still frozen from the frost over the last days. Even the sun didn’t defrost it ☀️ during daytime.
The view over the valley, the mountains in the background disappeared.

MR. AND MRS. #PUMPKIN STILL HAVING LOADS OF FUN ON THE PORCH. Watching the birdies come to visit 😊 Sadly nobody besides us visited them during #halloween 🎃🎃👻👻
As you can see, they are a bit frozen 🥶

If you missed their STORY 📖 from last Tuesday… have a look and read here: Mr. and Mrs. PUMPKIN 🎃 only wanted to be free and famous…

At 10:08h I see the branches are accumulating the light snow ❄️

The view over the valley at 10:36h. The snow is getting a little bit heavier now ☃️ we do see some mountains and forests in the distance 😊

The #birds are gathering at the #feeders… they are almost empty, so I will fill them up in an hour 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Look at the 😁 visitors at Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin 🎃 CUTE!
The snowflakes are getting thicker… you see them now on my photos 📸

Our #forest at the back of our cabin is also turning white now 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲

The valley at 10:51h Friday the first of November 😊
I like the layers of trees that are still visible.

It is now an hour later, 11:26h as you can see… more snow ❄️ is falling down ☃️ and it stays. It is very fluffy and light snow. Luckily not heavy and wet.

Slowly the views are getting very white. Stunning…. How can I not take this many photos. 😇 Ok ok… I took much more photos, this is just a small selection of them 😊 that I wanted to share with you.

My #lavender plant 🪴 is covered in snow at 12:19h

I decided to get a measuring tape out. Let’s see….
Wow at exactly 13:00 h the snow is 4 cm deep ☃️❄️

My view on the porch, as you can see, the bird feeders are right here in front of my kitchen window and front door….. so I can watch the birds feed 🐦‍⬛😊
Our driveway is located here too.

Aaawww look at Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin 🎃 they are cuddling together. They told me they are having fun as it is their first snowfall… ever. ☃️❄️ they love watching it.

Back inside I take this capture of the valley. Everything is now literally covered in a layer of snow ❄️

The trees are covered more and more at 13:21h 😊

Now you can see it is also gathering on the branches of the pine and spruce trees 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

So beautiful 😍 what a view…

I can’t stay inside anymore… 😎 it is 13:32h now.
Let’s wrap up warm 🧤🧣🧥 put some sturdy boots 🥾 on and head outside 😊
Are you joining me?
Yes…

Awesome.

We will walk first through our garden. Checking around the house…. 🏡
Look at this little twig, because the snow is so light it still stays up.

One of my favourite photos of today 😊🌲

My veggie 🥒🥦🍅🫑🥕 beds are covered in snow ❄️
I did prepare them for the winter weeks ago after the frost killed most of the veggies in early September.

This is one of the wattling rings, where I had the wildflowers 🌼🌸🌼🌸 in that I showed you all frozen last weekend… all cleaned up and winterised… it makes for an interesting form.

The temperature gauge on the inside of our shed shows -1 degrees Celsius
I must say… it is protected from the weather here, especially the wind.

As we walk further towards the front I see some plants 🌱 in the snow that make for pretty photos.

Another photo I like a lot 😊 this one is next to the drive way. That is a lot of snow that covers the dried out flowers.

The top of it, I zoom in close by 😎 so you see good how fluffy the snow is.

Look at their #SMILES 😁

I capture some berries of the tree the bird feeders are in. Another one of my favourite photos 😎

We have done a full round in the garden now.
Let’s walk further up the path /up the mountain for a little bit.

We see some abandoned buildings 🏚️ on the right.

The #virginsnow… nobody has walked on this path yet.
Let’s be the first 😁 hahaha 🤣

A smaller side path we created goes further up the mountain 🏔️ let's go up!

Next to the path I see layers of branches…. An awesome pattern 😎 don’t you think?

Hubby besides the enormous trees… “hi hubby👋🏻👋🏻” so you get a better feel of size of the trees in the forest around me.

Love #walking in the snow. It looks like winter wonderland ☃️☃️☃️

My favourite photo of the day 🥰

We headed back to the cabin now as soon the sun will set.
This is our view over the valley at 14:35h
I can’t stop watching out….
So sooooooo beautiful. I get all giddy from it. Hahaha 🤣

The snow is getting higher and higher, slowly it is covering our tracks 👣👣👣

At 15:00h I get the measuring tape out again.
Wow…. 😮 it is 8cm now. That is rather fast. From 10:30 until 15:00h 8 cm of snow ☃️

The light changes now as it is #sunset 🌅

The tree from the bird feeders…. Another one of my favourite photos 😊
The branches holding well with 8 cm of snow that came down this day.

The view is much clearer over the valley now. You see clearly the trees on the opposite side of the lake. It stopped snowing 🌨️

I capture the wonderful forms of the white trees 🌲🌳

At 16:00h it gets quickly dark… the white of the snow does help to give me a few more captures.

It is COMPLETELY #dark at 16:20h and 2 street lights are our only source of light on this mountain outside. Ok, yes… there is also a porch light I switch on too.

Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin are fully buried in the snow. Warm enough for the long night. Lit up by the porch light 🕯️

At 17:50h I go out and measure for the last time. As it stopped snowing now and won’t snow again until Sunday 3 November ☃️
As you can see…. It is 9 cm of snow ❄️
Just AWESOME 🤩

As yesterday was a day without any sun ☀️ and I woke up this morning 🌅 with the sun. I decided to capture the snow in the sunlight THIS MORNING. It rises at about 7:30h at the moment.

9:30h the #sun shines bright, but it doesn’t defrost all of the snow.

The Pumpkins survived the night very well and are still smiling 😊

I head outside…. ☃️☃️❄️❄️ the sun is warm enough for me to go out quickly without a jacket 🧥

Now the snow is there, I can find tracks in it ❄️☃️
No idea what this animal will be.

Another one… it must have been small. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

🎃 Closeup from the Pumpkins 🎃

I watch a little while next to the feeders. The birds are used to me so are not afraid to come and feed while I stand there 🥰

Clear views… some snow on the trees disappeared.

My lavender plant 🪴 holding on hahaha 🤣

Will get it inside for the winter ❄️

Mr. #Woodpecker came to visit this morning too.

Some #bullfinches (the red bird) came also. There are about 5 couples in the tree today.

…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
