Updated Winter Decorations!


Finally, some snow here in Northeast Pa.!

We had a very light and fluffy snowfall this morning of about 2-3 inches.

When I got home from work this morning I took these pictures of the front of our home.....

They look so much better with a bit of snowy white.....

I think the penguins like the snow....


It is only about 24 degrees here so the snow is not melting any time soon......


I think this Flower Bed looks so much better with a bit of white fluffy snow.....


Love the way the snow looks on the garland with the white lights....


I guess this Penguin finally got what he wanted....


Some scenes from our back yard this morning....



The back yard at night.....


I am one of those rare souls who actually loves winter and snow. I don't ski but I did love to sleigh ride as a kid.
But I am tired of having to drive to work no matter what the roads are like when it snows as hospitals do not give snow days...

I long for the days when I can stay at home and enjoy a fresh fallen snowfall and don't have to drive anywhere in it.....

Thanks for stopping by....

Snow in Amsterdam

If you haven't stopped by Pia Jane Bijkerk's blog in a little while, you need to go take a look at the beautiful photos she's been snapping of a very snowy Amsterdam. Beautiful.

Artist Spotlight: Michael Kenna


In honor of DC's first snow of the season, I wanted to highlight the work of photographer Michael Kenna. My favorite photos from Kenna are these beautiful and haunting photos of stark snow-covered landscapes from his series Silent World.

Did you guys enjoy the snow? I spent it driving from NY to DC -- definitely one of my least pleasant snow experiences. Do you have any traditions for the first snow of the season?

Dear DC weather...

If you're going to be frigid and rainy, can you at least make it pretty? Working on a few more hibernation-friendly posts tonight. Stay tuned! (Photo via Gatekeeper)
