A Snow Day

-

I had planned to post last week about the rare snow day we had down here. Because of unforeseen circumstances, that post did not happen.

Since snow is a pretty rare event here compared to many other places in the U.S., I decided to post a few pictures, just the same. For those of you who might be tired of the white stuff and the aggravation and inconveniences that sometimes come along with it, please indulge me with this short post.

These shots show how it looked in our front yard view on Wednesday morning of last week:

 Here is what things looked like in the back:

There was snow at the Bluebird's residence, as well:
I caught our neighbors, Angela and Leonard, as they ventured out. We have such good neighbors and friends all around us and we love them!
Angela Surely Looks Happy to Have Snow
Leonard is Getting the Cars Ready to Go
The snow seemed to be appreciated by this Cardinal, my favorite winter bird! 

My sweet husband always makes sure all our feathered friends have something to eat, but especially when there is ice or snow on the ground.
 Over at my daughter, Stephanie's, house they were really enjoying the rare occasion when there was enough fluffy and beautiful snow in which to get outside and play.
This is another picture of the girls(Sophie on the left and Rachel on the right) with my sweet daughter and their Mommy, Stephanie.
No, it did not snow for long and it did not snow very much. But, yes, we in the Central Savannah River Area really do enjoy that rare, blissful and beautiful snow day!

It's gorgeous Lynn! We didn't get that much. And I do love the Cardinal! But I think your granddaughters stole the show.

I hope we get more, but will be surprised if we do. Just hope the folks in Atlanta area can enjoy it if we do. I felt really sorry for those poor people. About the grands, I think they are pretty great, but being a grandmother, too, I am sure you can relate! Thanks for stopping Laurie. Have a wonderful weekend!

I LOVE your house! And the snow! Thanks for sharing. I am in the high desert of southern california...we might get a few drops of rain when it is really cold, and a day or two of an inch or so of snow once a year...other than that, we aren't very pretty here!!! Bet your house looks great with all the green of the summer too!

Hi Lynn, thanks so much for dropping by to say hello. Snow, can't say it's my favorite thing although it sure looks pretty. Living on the West Coast, snow doesn't make an appearance too often but occasionally it arrives, in fact expecting some tonight. Have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by by blog and saying hello - and it's a delight to come visit you. Your snow-enhanced home is lovely, and how fun to see the wee ones enjoying the white stuff so much! Such gorgeous smiles one can't help but grin back in return. While I'm from a part of the country that's been experiencing record-breaking amounts of snow and frigid temps, it really is fun seeing the delight with fresh eyes. And what a lovely cardinal - they are always such a treat to see!

How to Make and Use a Stencil Using Cricut Expression

My family and many of my friends know how much I adore French inspired creations and design. The flourish of the curly-cues and curves are so appealing. An image of the Eiffel Tower in any form sets my imagination into high gear. It will come as no surprise to people who know me well that when I feel the desire to get creative, it is often with a French flair. So, when pondering what to make for Joanne, a dear friend of mine, I designed the stenciled pillow covers shown in this post.  I constructed the pillow cover/shams myself from a twin sized white cotton sheet and embellished the opening edges with black grosgrain ribbon before sewing the side seam together. If you prefer not to sew your own, you can purchase a pair and begin from there. This image could be reduced a little in size and applied to hand towels, etc. My Cricut  Expression was used to make the stencil for the design and the cartridge used was Storybook.  The design used was a flower design which ...

Homemade Fresh Chunky Peach Ice Cream

One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. Farmer's markets and roadside stands boast baskets of all sorts of beautiful, tempting regional produce. Georgia is called the Peach State but the area where we live in South Carolina grows the most juicy, sweet and delicious peaches you could ever hope to eat. The month of July, particularly around Independence Day is when the best (in my opinion) are ripe and ready to be harvested and sold. Home-Churned Fresh Peach Ice Cream Our family eagerly anticipates the appearance of those beautiful peaches! South Carolina Grown Freestone Peaches There are all sorts of delicious ways to prepare and eat this luscious and delectable fruit. They are simply scrumptious when peeled and sliced like this: Peeled and Sliced Freestone Peaches You can add a splash of milk or coconut milk and a little sugar, but it really is not necessary. They are so very sweet and satisfying. Eaten fresh they are qui...

Chocolate Cream Meringue Pie Like Mama Used to Make

I am updating this post today 3/25/2013 about the pie my mother-in-law used to make  to link up to   Jessica at  http://www.ahumblecreation.com/  for her "A New Creation" Link Party. My husband, Glenn, celebrated a birthday last week. He received a very special surprise from his sweet sister, Sharon, who brought by an absolutely gorgeous and delicious Chocolate Meringue Pie.  The story behind this pie goes back some forty or fifty years to the days when their mother was still living and Glenn was a young teenager. She passed away when only in her early fifties. She was a special lady and a wonderful cook, as was my husband's father. I was truly blessed to have known both of them to have shared many good times in their lovely home. Meals with them were always such warm and wonderful gatherings, where good food was abundant. Great meals with them were not limited to holidays and there was always some fabulous dessert at the end of a meal made by Mama...
