Our Snow Day


I realize by now everyone is ready for Spring and you probably don't want to see more snow pictures.  But... you must understand the significance of snow for us here in the south.  It's so rare!  Our family had such fun playing in it last week.  This post is for my family and all the wonderful memories we made.
When it started snowing everyone was gone but me.  I was squealing and running through the house.  A person can only squeal to one's self for so long.  They finally arrived home at dark.  We didn't care that it was freezing and the neighbors were all snuggled in their houses.  We hooped and hollered (another Southern thang) until 10 p.m. 



Snowball fights!



The next morning we awoke to a winter wonderland...



Yours truly had to make a snow angel!  Haven't done that since childhood!  Brrr.. it was cold laying there! 
I loved how the pine branches were heavy with snow!  You can see it starting to melt.  We don't get it often and can't keep it for long!


And here was God's Valentine's gift to us...

Happy Memories!

Happy New Year! Happy New Space!

Happy New Year!  Back in GA after a wonderful visit in TX.  Missing my family already.  Just impossible to see everyone in one visit.  But we really enjoyed our stay. Kids start back to school tomorrow.  I haven't even finished unpacking and my Christmas decor is staring me down.  It'll all get done in time.  Thought I'd share pics of this little bench I bought at Ross'.  Even though I loved the color, it did not blend well in the space. So, I gave it a coat of black to match the black accents in the adjoining space.  Then paired it with black frames above. When I bought it, I really didn't know where to put it, but it seems to work well in this little alcove off my dining room. I like how it brought life to an otherwise boring little space, along with our new family portraits.  Blessings to you and yours for a happy and prosperous new year!  Thanks for all the comments left while I was away.
