A record of Brick Ranch Covered In Snow

It is still picturesque out here at Casa Petersik exactly one day after waking up to 8 inches of snow. And because this is the first snow accumulation that we have had in three years of living here, we could not resist one more post about the vivid white decor that Mother Nature dumped on our home.

Now that the sun is out, our photos are prettier. But they truly do not do it justice. Winter wonderland is the ideal description. Here is another shot of our backyard looking charming as ever:

And a never before seen view of the back of our house taken right from where that snow covered arch is in the picture above:

There I am marching down the stairs with my red gloves in hand. This was taken before a lively little walk around the neighborhood. Our house is kind of like a mullet. As in, business in the front, party in the back. The front is so traditional and ranchy. And the back is so crisp and modern looking thanks to the sunroom addition. It is funny because most of our neighbors do not even know we have an addition since it was brought in to the back of the house and it is totally hidden from the street.

Here is a little snow dog (a “Snow Burger” to be specific) that I made:

John created one with his back to me. It is funny that mine ended up sitting and his was standing:

And here is our go-to house in the neighborhood covered with snow. We call it “the bed and breakfast” because it is fantastically cozy and inviting and even has a tennis court and a pool in the back. Ooh-la-la!

We consistently say that we are going to die in our house, but if this baby came up for sale we might simply change our tune…

What about you folks? Any snow related hijinks to share? Are there any houses in your neighborhood that you are dying to own? Do you plan on staying in your house for a while or do you consider your home to be a short term solution? Do tell.
