Foggy White Wednesday


Freezing Fog Mornings

what a way to start the week

on the way to work

sounded like freezing rain at times

the one clear spot in the fog
still not melted from the past 2 weeks of extreme cold

Thanks to Kathleen at Faded Charm for hosting White Wednesday. She has so many links to other White Wednesday participants you can visit.

White Wednesday



We Got Snow

only 1/2" but that is enough for us

baby magnolia

angel girl by the porch

large pot in the middle of the flower garden

benches covered


newest no water fountain in the garden

doves watching over the garden

birth baths we forgot to take down full

little pond covered up

It started snowing around 8 am Thursday morning and snowed all day. We finally had about 1/2" by the end of the day with snow flurries all day Friday and Saturday. We might have ended up with maybe 1" by Sunday morning. Everything looked so beautifully pristine white. After an extremely cold past 10 days we are starting to warm up again and the snow will disappear hopefully until next year.

Check out Kathleen at Faded Charm for more great White Wednesday posts.

Trying To Eat

clouds rolling on through yesterday afternoon

got home and Wild Cat was waiting to be fed
he has to hurry and eat because of the birds

they try their best to run him off so they can eat

and are successful a good part of the time

the cardinals are the last to eat if there is any left
they are as easily run off as Wild Cat

Can One Have Enough


Scissors

some in the display boxes

some in my bedroom

some in the sewing room

and more with the sewing machine

I love small embroidery scissors and have quite a few pairs I have bought or been given to from friends. I don't think it is possible to ever have enough. A definite must have for every room and stitching bag in the house.
