Snowpocalypse!

Taken at around 8:45 this morning here in Purcellville. I’m glad to see that the plows have been out in my neighborhood overnight…one of the things we pay for in our homeowner’s association is snow removal, and they are very much on top of things with this storm so far!

Please be safe today and stay off the roads if you can. Also, please don’t forget to clear the snow off your exterior HVAC  units so that they don’t freeze up!!

Thanks, honey!

Snow in my neighborhood...

Snowy cheers,

Heather

Beautiful. And apparently, there is more on the way this weekend. What a winter!

Cheers,

Heather

Taken riding the back roads of Loudoun County, and it made me smile. Despite being so close to Washington DC and so much urban space, sights like this are not uncommon here, and it’s part of why I love where I live.

Cheers,
Heather

This photo was taken tonight at Fireman’s Field in Purcellville, for the opening night of the 2009 Upper Loudoun Youth Football League season. They kicked the year off with rematches from last season’s B League and A League championships games. In the first matchup, the B League Knights beat the Oarsmen 7-0; and when I left the second game at halftime the Vikings were up over the Giants 15-0 .  (Couldn’t stay for the whole game, as I have little ones that needed to get to bed, and my son plays his first game of the season tomorrow!)

Obviously with kids of my own playing sports in Loudoun, I can’t possibly get to most of the youth sports that take place in the county. I’d love to do a photo slideshow each Friday with images that my readers have sent me, so please email me your youth sports pictures from each week to heather@heatherelias.com , and let me know which team, league, and age bracket your kiddo is playing in so I can share.

Cheers,

Heather

(who will be rooting for the Trojans tomorrow at Fireman’s Field!)

Snapped this pic of the Franklin Park Performing and Visual Arts Center when I was picking my son up from football practice on the fields there.  If you aren’t familiar with it, this community center was built on the site of an old dairy barn and is now home to theater productions, music, and exhibitions. My daughters performed there last winter in a Footloose Dance and Fitness production.  You can visit the website for more information or keep up on their Facebook page.

Cheers,
