snow storm - take (2)

The second snowstorm in three days hit today, and I'd say we have about 16 to 18 inches now.

Here's Crafty Girl and a friend having loads of fun in the white stuff. They were out there for hours and hours.


We're supposed to get arctic cold and strong winds tomorrow, and I expect this dainty pattern on my rose trellis to be gone:


I always leave the dried sedum in the fall, because I look forward to the little snow hoods in the winter:

Our neighbors' bushes have snow blankets on.

We're all home safe and sound. Tall Son is off visiting with friends, of course.

We baked another batch of cookies today and I knitted a few rounds on a sock. I can't show you most of my knitting until after Christmas, though. :)

instant winter

Just dropping in to say that we got instant winter yesterday, 10 inches in as many hours, measured in our back yard. It wasn't blowing or drifting snow, just the nice white fluffy stuff, coming down constantly and heavily.

Between the baking, picking up the house and cleaning and a girl's soccer game (indoor!) thrown in, no time for pictures. And just a little bit of knitting.

They're saying more snow tomorrow, which is good, it gave Dear Husband the day today to go retrieve Tall Son from college 220 miles away. I'll be glad when they walk in the door tonight, then it can snow all it wants. We're on Christmas break!
