It snowed… a lot… 17 inches worth. There was quite a frenzy to complete all the garden clean-up before the storm, and we finished just in time. Now we have winter wonderland for a few days until the next storm washes it away.











After 2 1/2 days of snowing, the sun came out


I got a lot of indoor work done during the storm though…here’s one of my decorations. Merry Christmas to all.

It does look pretty. But cold!
It was both pretty and cold and then we got a little warm spell and it mostly all melted. But then we had about 4 inches of fresh stuff on top of everything last night and it looks like fairyland again.
Cardinals are really impressive. Their color seems so unnatural. There is nothing like them here. Of course, there is no backdrop of snow to show of their color either.
Thanks Tony. They are quite beautiful. We lost all that snow when it warmed up for few days but then it got cold again and we got some more. Hoping it holds on for a white Christmas.
