We awoke Monday morning to a beautiful snow white world!!! Doesn't God have an amazing sense of humor? Snow on the first day of March!! I have daffodils in full bloom in my front yard and now they are all covered up with snow. This weekend it is going to be 70 degrees. This weather is crazy!! I enjoyed the snow and it was nice to have a day to hibernate in, especially since I have had a cold this past weekend. This picture is looking off my deck towards my neighbor's yard. The trees were so pretty covered in snow!
Here are the steps leading up to our deck. My poor pansies in the pots on the deck were covered in snow, as well. Our little chihuahua, Holly, couldn't even walk in the snow, because it was too deep. She hates cold weather too! I have a bird feeder on my deck and the birds were there all day eating. I love watching my birds!!!
We got about 6 inches of snow Sunday night. It started snowing about dark and snowed all night. I stayed up late just watching the snow come down. It is so peaceful to see the snow falling at night. God's beauty is so amazing!! These are some of my deck chairs covered in snow.
Here is my snowman flag that I love to fly in the winter. His pail says, " Snow for Sale". I love to fly flags and I have one for almost every occasion.
Aren't the trees so beautiful with the snow on them? It looked like winter wonderland when I went out to go to the Post Office this afternoon. Our children did not have school here today and lots of businesses were closed, as well. I enjoyed a day of just being at home chilling out and getting things done around the house. I love days like that when I can just be at home and do my own thing, without knowing that I have to be somewhere.
I fixed a nice dinner for my hubby and then I watched the Bachelor, although I was shocked at how it turned out. I hope Jason made the right choice this time. He can't make up his mind!
Well, it's back to school for me tomorrow. But at least we get to go in an hour later. That will be nice, since there will probably be black ice in the morning. Wednesday I have parent conferences. I will be glad to have that behind me!! Have a wonderful day.
Your pictures are pretty. It's especially nice because you can enjoy the beauty of the snow but it won't be sticking around. 70 degrees sounds really wonderful to me.
ReplyDeleteGod certainly does have a sense of humor...hardly any snow all winter in Kansas City and then a major snowstorm on the last day of February! Ours was beautiful while it lasted, but b/c we've had such little precipitation and unseasonaly warm temperatures our ground wasn't cold enough for most of it to last long. By today, the last remaining remnants (i.e. parking lot piles) should be gone!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with parent/teacher conferences. Gosh those are so much work. As a former 3rd grade teacher, that is one thing I don't miss since I made the decision to stay home. The conferences themselves aren't so bad, I actaully enjoy sharing strengths and areas to grow in with parents...but oh my, the hours of preparation before hand! (But then, maybe that is just me!) Good Luck!
It is a winter wonderland. Sooo pretty, but I'm ready for the beauty of spring too :)
ReplyDeleteOur weatherman just keeps teasing us...but NEVER any snow!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just beautiful! I am like you. I like the days of just relaxing. Unfortunately they are few and far between. I watched the Bachelor too. What a mess! I am glad to hear that someone else was drawn into that show. I try not to but I just can't resist. LOL Have a great day!

If this comes through twice, Sorry!
ReplyDeleteSee what happens when you fly a "snowman" flag!lol Looks so pretty and the good thing is it won't last! Northern Virginia had an awful day for commuting but thankfully hubby and I have lived in New England all our lives so we were used to driving in it and took back roads because traffic was stopped dead on all the major roads! I need to pick up a Spring flag until I put up our American flag! To answer your question the bunny pattern is from Joannes and the pattern line is Christmas Everyday! Now I purchased it years ago (8/9) so I'm not sure they still carry this kind of thing; it was with the quilting/cotton fabrics not in the drawers! I wish we lived closer to craft together too! Enjoy your week - Sincerely, Jeannette (Feel better too!)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's pretty mom! I don't remember the last time we got a good snow like that at home. I'm glad you had the day to rest and get better. I bet it was funny to watch Holly. Poor thing, it probably came up to her head. Remember that time you shoveled out a little circle for her in the yard? Ha! I'm sorry your sick. I hope you start feeling better before your conferences.
ReplyDeleteIt looks heavenly! We never get snow like that here. I hope you're feeling better and that your cold has gone away.
