Snow to speak of

Finally some snow to speak of, probably about 3 inches here.   Looks to be anyway - haven't checked the weather pros to see exactly.     Around 17 degrees at this time and feels like 13 degrees - Brr.
Nipping at my nose for sure.  Here are a few pictures I took as I stuck my head out the door this morning .


Wasn't sure about that color for the swing,  but now I am liking the bright colors.

Maybe Saturday will bring more than just flurries,  I hope so.

Adalyn and Genevieve

Today was actually very nice - around 60 degrees, but tomorrow is supposed to snow about 1 - 3 inches,  so probably will be a half a foot.   It's never what the weather people call for.
Visiting my grandchildrens home today with Adalyn in her car Santa brought her.
Here she is,  driving with no hands.

Her favorite passenger ,  Pepper who doesn't mind the ride, although I think he does get a little nervous with her at the wheel.





Genevieve with her coat on as I was going to walk her outside to feel the sunshine while it lasts.

She was three months old Jan. 18th,    sweet baby

I am always admiring this carved heavy door as I leave.  It was on the house when they bought it so I don't know any history or where it came from.   It is heavy and nicely carved.

Paper Whites

Received this beautiful container as a Christmas gift from Steve's brother..  They have scented the room with such a wonderful fragrance that I would love to bottle.   My first experience with bulbs like this growing in the dead of winter and now will not be my last.
The container is wonderful


They cheer up a room
