Once the snow started to fall on Saturday, it continued into the next day. We don't know for sure, but we're guessing we got eight to nine inches when all was said and done. Thankfully, it was the dry, flaky kind that's easy to move and shovel, until it starts to melt.
We went downstairs Sunday morning to Andy plowing the drive, so Handsome went out and did a little shoveling around the edges. I went out later and did the front walkway and staircase. That was plenty for me!

Even though it stayed cloudy most of the day, when the sun peeked out, the effect was pretty wonderful. The birds were grateful for the seed I'd put out for them, and I went to the apple tree right away yesterday to clear the snow off the feeders for them. I also tossed seed on top of the snow so the mourning doves and other ground dwellers could get at it.
I spent time in the studio, but I'm not quite ready for the big reveal. I'll share it very soon, though. Things didn't go exactly as planned, so I'm still working on it. I'll be back upstairs today, so we'll see how far I get.
This week is my Birthday week, so you know the drill. I may work; I may play; I may just party like a teenager! As always, I'll draw it out for just as long as I'm able!
Happy December!
The snow is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWe had 10 inches when it stopped, bu ours was the wet, heavy snow.
We haven't had snow before Christmas in many years.
Happy Birthday month!

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI'm guessing we got between 8-10". It's hard to tell once it starts blowing around our yard. Sorry yours was wet and heavy. Ugh! I don't mind the snow unless I have to go outdoors. lol
Thank you, dear!

Happy Birthday week! I hope it is filled with great gifts.
ReplyDeleteI think I live in the wrong state. Snow that beautiful has only come here about 3 times in my life.
It looks like God laid a peaceful blanket on the land to me. Enjoy your week --Kathy
Hi Kathy:
DeleteThank you so much! Me, too. lol
Snow like this isn't unusual during our winters. It's usually just a matter of when it hits and how much. We always count on it, though. The land is always quieter when there's a blanket of snow. It is quite lovely.
Thanks again.
xoxo

Happy birthday week! You certainly got your share of exercise shoveling snow.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary:
DeleteThanks so much, hon. I got all the shoveling I cared for, thanks. I'd rather sit indoors and look at it. Thankfully, my trusty scoop shovel made quick work of the stairs and sidewalk.
Hugs,

Tag’s advice is appropriate here I do believe- live like someone left the gate open! Enjoy your week. Your package from Charlene in Phoenix is still being finished. I’m running late this year! Have a blessed and fun filled week.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene:
DeleteTag always knew how to enjoy the snow. Of course, he preferred having paths shoveled to having to break a path himself. (wink) I still haven't mailed your package, dear. I'm still pulling donation fabrics to fill the box. Hoping by the end of the week. I'll let you know when it's on its way. Thanks, girlfriend.
Hugs,
xoxo

The snow is always so pretty...especially if you can stay home to enjoy it! Happy Birthday week! May your week be filled with joyous birthday celebrations!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteMy thoughts exactly! Thanks, dear. I'm looking forward to seeing what the coming week brings.
Hugs,

Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteOur local weather channel is very undecided so far.
I'll see what the morning brings. Seems to always be a surprise.
This is going to be a wonderful birthday month for you.
Shirley
Dear Shirley:
DeletePlease stay safe and warm, dear friend. I'm looking forward to the entire month. wheeeeeee!

Yep - that's quite enough snow to last me the entire winter!
ReplyDeletePlease do party hearty - you deserve it. Happy Birth Week (and doesn't it last all month? I'm sure it should....)
Hi MA:
DeleteOnce like this a season is fine with me. I don't need any more, thanks. I will be partying all week...after I get my wall hanging done. Thanks. I'm hoping it last al least a month!
Hugs,
xoxo
