Still Winter Whites . . .

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!

~ Julie

    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.

    Hi Julie,
    Your 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!
    Have 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.
    Love your photos. :)

    Sounds 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!
