All the pretty snowflakes that fell cascading into the prettiest white covering have melted as silently as they fell. Who knows where they all went but with the balmy 50 degree temperatures today could be a clue as to what happened.

Snow, it’s in the forecast tomorrow but we won’t hold our breath as we’re not expecting anymore than an inch. So I’ll just go ahead and tell Mr. Weatherman that I would like to put a blizzard request in before the winter is over. Or I would at least like to see more than a foot of snow on the ground and would be happy to see a major wintry mix before Mr. Spring rounds the bend.

Today I had plans to run around shopping for some miscellaneous things for the apartment and then I wanted to run by the grocery to pick up a few items I forgot the other day. But the sad thing is, I left my purse in Bobby’s car over the weekend and my keys and everything went with my dearest to work.

So today I’m working on getting all caught up on my ironing and have plans to do a little cleaning before Bobby gets home.

I spent a while this morning wrapping up a few more pictures that I wanted to share. There was just something about yesterday that even called for the little things to be noticed. So when going at a snails pace one surely notices the deer prints in the snow and even the tiny cones on the pine trees.

I had an art teacher who once said “Look at it Debbie, don’t just see it but really SEE it”. I learned so much from her and I still remember seeing an object for the first time, really seeing the subject matter and drawing it from the shapes I saw.

Today on this beautiful heart day, I set forth to not just look at this pretty day but to really see it. I took all necessary precautions and drove like I was broken down, hobbled along with my 4 way flashers blinking non stop and graciously pulling over and stopping for all the cars that came up from behind to allow them to pass. I had many kind waves and even had a gentleman stop to see if I was alright. I had my window down already and I quickly showed him my camera saying “I’m a southern gal taking in the beauty”. He nodded saying, my daughter-in-law is a southern gal, I understand. And away he drove down the beautiful country road.

So allow me to share pictures of what I saw for the very first time.

I just love the view out the back of our apartment and here’s a picture of our gorgeous day.

It’s been quite a fulfilling and gorgeous day. Mr. Sunshine lasted all day long and I’m so happy he didn’t melt all the snow away. We’re supposed to get more this weekend so I think we’ll be all set in that department.

I set out sometime around 3:30 this afternoon to get my nails done. Then I made a few stops along the way home like filling the tank with gas and dropping by my favorite grocery store.

I just got in from all my errands and I’m waiting on a call from my dearest. It’s truly been a good day and now I can prop my feet up and get busy transferring more posts over here.

It was a brisk cold morning last week when Bobby needed me to take him to work. He left his car at the mechanic’s for the inspection the night before and he needed a ride to work the next day. As I was getting all situated and fastening my seatbelt, I had a very strong urgency to capture these snowflakes on my window. It was no small feat and after snapping picture after picture here’s what I gleaned. For some reason, these snowflakes on my car window had me mesmerized for just a little while as the heater in the car melted these little gems just minutes after we were down the road.

It’s so hard to believe after having such a cold spell lasting for quite a little while and between yesterday and today we are having some of the best balmy weather yet this winter. Yesterday we enjoyed highs in the low 60’s and today’s high was a beautiful 65. I’m enjoying paradise.

We’ve been quite busy getting our place all furnished and now we are expecting our last piece of furniture tomorrow evening. I have my kitchen fully equipped with everything necessary to prepare meals and have all essentials like my coffee pot, toaster and the like purchased and in full use.

Now I have the decorating part left and oh the fun it’s going to be shopping for all the fu fu stuff’s.

It still feels like a whirlwind around here and I feel so far behind. I wanted to post other pictures from our trip to FL but the time is quickly getting away and now it’s old history. I also need to get in here and get all my Christmas backgrounds taken down and give it a new face lift but for now I’m just going to sign off.

P.S. We went to bed at 6:30 last night and I think all the shopping and late evenings are catching up with us. Bobby did get up for an hour and ½ to watch part of the football game and then back to bed he came and we slept so sound all night.

It was a disappointment of sorts when we got home to see the snow was long gone. Guess I’m still a rookie but I’m enjoying the snow we’ve had thus far. I did say a prayer for it to stop when I was trying to get out of here for Christmas but now that we’re home, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow. I have not gotten around to praying for more snow yet and I was so surprised to wake to this pretty site.

There are times where I truly think I could get used to this. I’ve abandoned my long winter coat as I detest being all bundled up. A long sleeve shirt and a sweater with a nice fleece are getting the job done. I’ve yet to get out my scarves but I do have my gloves at the ready.

Bobby even chuckled at me a couple weeks ago when we had all that snow on the ground. As we were getting ready to leave the apartment I said “Let me see how cold it is outside”. With a just one step outside I could tell a sweater was all I needed. Has my blood really gotten so thick in this short amount of time or am I crazy? One thing for sure, as long as it’s pretty white, I’m in awe…
