Warmth of Snow

"Cold enough to freeze your britches off." Ooh, that's cold! Wet enough to soak through your new leather boots........unless you had the forethought to waterproof them, thank goodness I did!
However, Southern snow, when we're lucky, is just a one or two day happening. Enough to close school and give the kids a chance to throw snowballs and build a snow person. Some folks get an unexpected day off work..............and lucky people, such as we were on Tuesday, were still able to take a safe road trip because once we were heading South and out of town, the roads were clear and dry.
Before leaving that morning I caught images of this rare Southern snow. My last post probably gave you chills.........this one is to warm you up a bit and show you that snow scenes around the cottage can also be warming.

Gazebo - we leave lights in it year round - lovely in the snow.


Same for the potting shed area - leave lights up to warm up the Winter garden and perhaps get a glimpse of our foxes and feral kitties who hang out in that area!


Front porch covered from the blowing snow - gave it a new look.


Recently hung out a Spring flag - guess Mother Nature didn't get the message!
