SNOW DAY





Sunshine snow_22January 2011
The whole nations has been blanketed in snow (well every state but 2)
and Connecticut is no exception.
Now I have to say that I was getting confused as to why we were
the only ones not getting any snow.

decolored
Well the lesson here is
watch what you WISH for!!!
dirty snow
I didn’t go out with a tape measure but I’m thinking 15” or so and
according to the weather men it’s more snow
that we’ve had in 15 years from one storm.
More coming this weekend!!!!!

The day after the big snowfall I took pics just to record for posterity
but as you know pics taken on a “no sun” day are a little flat.

Notice the weight of the snow pulling apart this arborvitae.

It’s been in the single digits at night….bbbrrrr
but during the day the sun has been shining for the most part so the icicles have been such a bonus.

The yard even looks better with snow blanketing all the forgotten clean up.

Nigella watching George as he labors outside with the snow blower.
( yes that’s the tree on the left….
and still as fresh as when she came in)

She’s happy to be spending time in this sun drenched room especially now that Mom
took down the curtains in there for cleaning and decided it looked better
without them.

Loving the sunshine in that room.
Tried using a bit of red this year but not sure I liked it.
I’m not as good with red as my friend Evi
Yes like I said still have our tree up but I won’t bore you with Christmas decorations…..
just a few silly candy canes.
I know 95% of you have packed it away.
I will too soon and then replace it with Valentines Day décor.

It’s been great to use this room again. We really ignore it
the rest of the time so we’re making a point of having coffee in the morning or tea at night here.
That under used room that we wonder why we have until
NOW.
Do you have a favorite room?
