We woke up to about 4 inches of snow this morning. The kids were so excited. They donned on all of their warm clothes and headed outside. We have been inside for a while and have warmed up. It has since started snowing again. From what the weather people are saying, it is supposed to continue to snow tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. I am beginning to think we will have a white Christmas.

I haven’t participated in the L.E.N.S Photo Challenge in a few weeks. This week’s challenge is “your best shot“. As I was going through photos, I just couldn’t figure out when one to post.
I finally decided on the one below. Why did I choose that picture? It reminds me of the day our family went on a family ride through the Blue Ridge Parkway. We were out enjoying the colors of the fall. We had a wonderful time as a family listening to music, looking at the beautiful mountain view and just being with one another.
Hope you enjoy it also!

My husband finally got the hornet nest down from the tree in our neighbor’s yard. The hornets nest was only hanging on my a twig, so he was able to throw a stick at it and knock it down.
As you can tell, it is about the size of soccer ball. It has layer upon thin layer of paper thin chewed wood mixed with saliva. Gross, isn’t it!
When it hit the ground, the bottom part fell off of it. You can tell where they bore the holes in the nest.
This part looked like it was where the larvae were at.
I then took a knife and sliced through the middle of the nest. It has 3 different layers inside. This was a pretty neat nest to look at. We plan on taking it to a nature preserve that is near our house to see if they would like to keep it to show kids who come to visit. I know my kids found it interesting!
