Snow

The snow in the forecast is now the snow on the ground. We woke to a a vision in white this morning. It's official. Summer's over.

This morning....


One thing about snow...it puts me in a Christmas mood. It's time to pull out the decorations and make the house look and feel like Christmas. My creative juices are warming up...how about yours?

Ta-Da Friday ~ March 7, 2008

Busy and reasonably productive week here creatively speaking.

Last Saturday was lovely, sunshine and warm temps. We fed our garden fever (you do feed a fever, right?) by going to a garden trade show, a plant nursery, and the Botanic Gardens in Ft. Worth. The Gardens stroll turned into a fun photo safari with The Pilot Guy and I snatching the camera out of each other's hands.

I stripped a porch swing to prep for a new paint job. Power sanders are fun.

The big creative fun was photographing the snow on Thursday. Just under five lovely inches of pure white fun.

Here are a few more photos from the day...

We were supposed to be at a baseball tournament yesterday. I guess this guy didn't get the word.


I finished piecing my lap quilt. I'll post photos tomorrow or next week.

What creative fun did you have this week? Tell about it in the comments. Feel free to link to a photo in your own blog.

Snow!

Okay, before you northern gals like Rose fall down laughing, please understand...we don't get SNOW. We usually get ice. Snow, fluffy, white, and wet, is a true joy.

Texas is getting a fine taste of late winter today with a snow storm that arrived faster than expected. Instead of arriving after supper, this storm bullied it's way in for lunch causing havoc with streets, schools, and afternoon ballgames.

The flakes are huge and plentiful. I'm having trouble just staying inside because it is so pretty.

The camera and I have been outside a lot.

The beginning....

Who says Texas doesn't have four seasons? We've had at least that many this week alone.
