It's Snowing

Well, it really did happen. But we just got a dusting.Two hours northwest of us, they have 7-8 inches already. They are at a higher elevation. We got about an inch (I live on a ridge) and it has started snowing again now. We are under a watch until 7 p.m. I don't have to worry about going anywhere as it is spring break next week.

This is what I call ugly snow. I went to church this morning and as I drove down the ridge, there was a noticable difference in snowfall. There usually is. Hardly any on the ground or cars sitting out.

Well, it's time to go clean the kitchen again. It is never ending. Then down to the sewing room.

Take care and God Bless!

Outdoor Wednesday

Yeserday morning was another one of those beautiful sunrises that I get to see when I do not have to go to work.  This is what I saw when I first looked out.

Within the hour. . .

Our God is, indeed, an awesome God. 

 

I'm linking to Outdoor Wednesday. Stop by A Southern Daydreamer for more beautiful outdoor shots. 

It's not too late to sign up for my Valentine Table Runner Giveaway. 

Take care and God Bless. 
 

Our God is an Awesome God

I got the call last night at about 9:30 p.m. The call I was expecting, yet dreaded. What call was that? The one saying we didn't have school again today. Yeah! Another day to sew. Yuck! Another day added on to the end of the school year.

I looked out the window and this is what I saw:

Take care and God Bless.

Snow and Ice

Well, the ice is finally hitting us. Actually, it sleeted quite a bit last night so I thought we would wake up to a mess. But although the trees were beautiful. the roads were all just wet.

 

 

But. as of noon, the sleet is coming down pretty good and I think the temp has hit the freezing mark. My daughter is home and my son is safe at his girlfriend's house. They both have to work tonight so if it keeps this up, I'll be worried. My son may have to call in, he has to cross a mile long bridge. If the roads get bad, that probably won't be a good idea.

All of the area schools are closed so I am home working in my sewing room. If you would like to see what I'm us to, check out my sewing blog. 

Take Care and God Bless!

Back to Work

Well we woke up yesterday morning with a smidgen of snow. Not enough to even cover the grass, but enough to keep us from having school.  We have massive bus routes going over mostly dirt back roads.

I spent the day quilting on my "Orange Crush" quilt. Pictures will be coming soon. All I need is the binding. I also had lunch with a friend I worked with for 10 years until I changed schools this past year.  It was great catching up.

See the touch of red still. That is called "too cold" to go outdoors and take down the decorations. I told my husband to unplug the outside lights and we will worry with taking them down later.  

Isn't this a beautiful sight. It looks like quite a bit of snow, but it is just our driveway. If you look beyond the pond, you will see the grass.

What, more red? This is actually nature. It is a bush in my back yard scattered with snow.


Well, it's off to work for me. At least for a couple of days. They are calling for more snow here on Wednesday evening so if it really makes it here, we probably won't have school on Thursday.

I thank God for warmth and the wood we are having delivered today. There's nothing better for keeping warm than wood heat. 



Until later . . . 


Take care and God Bless.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

 

Isn't it beautiful.  I keep reading on blogs about the snow some towns are getting. Here in Arkansas, we don't get a lot of snow. 

So . . . 

since I want snow so badly, and there is literally none in the forecast for the near future, I am borrowing this picture taken in 2008. I went outside and waited for the snow to come falling down from the branches as the weather got warmer and the snow was melting. I snapped the above picture just as some fell. 

I will show you the Christmas Village I have set up in my home library (office). It does have fake snow, so I guess I can look at it for my "snow fix". 

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and got a "snow fix" like I did. Or for those of you who do not like getting out in the snow, I hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures and knowing it is not a reality. 


I know that if I lived in an area where it snowed a lot, I would either love it, hate it, or just get used to it. But . . . I also know that I probably would not enjoy it like I do when it snows here. 


If you enjoy my blog, I hope you'll pass a link along to your friends. I also love to read comments. 


Take care and God Bless.
