Today we woke up to snow!!!!
I know many of you are tired of your snow, but we rarely get snow;
and some winters we don't get any. So today was a happy day!
AND
the power was out,
so Kevin built a fire, and we had hot chocolate
cooked on the wood stove and sat enjoyed the quietness
(no tv, no internet, no heater or refrigerator running . . . just quiet)
by the fire.
The snow makes everything so quiet and beautiful,
and the brightness shines through the windows and fills every room with light.
I needed the brightness today; a change from the darkness of gray clouds and rain.
Thank you, Lord, for the beauty of fresh fallen snow.
So . . . the first task of the day . . .
walk through the snow and take pics so I can share them here, with you,
and now I have a post for White Wednesday.
We only had an inch, and it's already melting.
I'm still dreaming of spring . . .
Hoping you have a wonderful day!

Your snow is beautiful! I'm looking forward to springtime because there is nothing whatsoever pretty about a Georgia winter. Yours, on the other hand, is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour snowy garden looks beautiful!
I had given up on snow for the year... so, the forecast calls for it to begin again tonight:-) Haha...
Stay warm and enjoy!

Snow can be so beautiful can't it Julie? I think the Lord had it right though when he limited the time winter has to do her thing! I know I for one am so looking forward to Spring and a few flowers to brighten up the landscape!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day...

We don't get a lot of snow, either, so when we do, I'm as happy as can be. It's so beautiful and peaceful...really serene. And I like that it doesn't hang around for long, making things difficult.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. :)

ReplyDeleteYour pics are so pretty and cozy! We have another snow storm coming Sunday...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day, I kinda like being snowed in and having an excuse to stay home and nest! Thanks for the advice on chandeliers, our local craigslist is not that great but I should be more diligent about searching ebay. I'll be sure to post when I finally find it!
