Snow, Good Book and a Cup of Tea

We didn't get the amount of snow that had been forecast, but we did get about four inches of dry fluffy snow. As the fine snow was falling everything was quiet and still until a couple of people decided to ride up and down the road on their snowmobiles, but that didn't last that long. It made for a lovely evening to curl up under a throw with a good book(The Memory Keepers Daughter) and large cup of vanilla hazelnut tea in the livingroom while candles were burning in the fireplace.

From time to time during and after the snowstorm I took pictures mostly of the angel sitting on a bench in one of my many flower gardens.

Today after the snowstorm we had the bluest sunny skies. The temperature was in the low 30s perfect for outdoor activities. The plowman came early, so I only had in front of the garage door and the front walkway to shovel.

Lala,

I prefer to enjoy the beauty of snow from inside my house. But, it sunny days I'm drawn outside. It means putting on hat, gloves, scarf, coat, warm socks, and proper footwear.

The tea was good.

Susanne,

I like angels, that is one of several I have in the yard. I hope that smile will still be on it's face after we get through a week for frigid temperatures
