White pines in snow
There is nothing more magical than waking to a blanket of snow from an overnight storm. I cracked open the door and listened. There was a sweet quietness as the snow covered every horizontal surface and muted all sound.
Snow is still falling this afternoon. Although we’re living in the north where no one seems intimidated by the white stuff, schools were delayed. I imagine kids must still in their pj’s sipping hot chocolate in front of a glowing, warm fire… or either next to the glow of a warm tv. But this ‘kid’ and her dog ventured out into the storm of white.
Mattie loves a snowy day
Mattie loves a snowy day. She jumps. She runs. She eats snow. And she catches snowflakes on her tongue.
So do I….. We love a snowy day!
Skiing yet? What’s Mr. Gardener doing? Dreaming of his next woodworking project?

It’s not the warmest house we’ve ever lived in or either my blood is very thin. We wear sweaters, sometime two at a time!

Makes me hanker for a moonlit, silent snow scene – but then I think about the cold… Florida for me, even tho our old dog is loving this sudden cold Ware Neck snap.

It does look beautiful and inviting! I wish I could run all around out there and make a million angels.
It’s a chilly 65 degrees in San Diego and promise of a big rain storm. I see lots of grey clouds but no rain yet.

Gosh, what have we missed. Sitting on a boat in swimming pool colored water of the Florida Keys with a Rum Runner, looking at the world’s largest sunset at the Starboard, and the world’s largest full moon at the Port, and darn, you get that beautiful white snow.
