And Snow It Did!

Our official snowfall total according to the local news is 21". The snow drifts on the other hand and 3' & higher.

It was so beautiful last night. I wish the wind hadn't been so down-right nasty so I could have stayed on the porch and enjoyed the peace, quiet & tranquility. Just the few minutes I spent out there late last night soothed my soul & just about brought me to tears.

Snow is my Yoga.

And the tenants, oh how the tenants (of our apartment complex) are aflutter with complaints this morning! "What if I shovel my parking space out and someone takes it?" "When are you going to do something about the two feet of snow alongside my truck?" "Ya know, there's snow on my deck."

LOL!

Sis.in.law has been in a Mood since Friday morning when we told her there was no way her flight from Philly would get out yesterday. She dislikes cold weather & snow. Her flight was officially cancelled by 8pm on Friday and we've got her rescheduled to fly out tomorrow at 1:30pm so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Well, it looks as though we'll have a white Christmas this year - I'm hoping it's a quiet, calm & peaceful one too.

For you, I pray that your Christmas is quiet and peaceful. With all that snow, the noise will at least be muffled. I'm so glad you like snow.~~Dee

good thing we didn't plan to have some hot chocolate at the airport.

Enjoy the sounds of silence. I always think of those lyrics when I go out in a snowstorm.

HOLY SNOW!

I'm glad that something so beautiful can give you such a sense of peace. Sometimes, it's the simple beauty of nature that our souls crave and need more than anything, and I'm glad you found something like that for yourself :)
Thank you Dee! Very much appreciated!

Good thing is right Brenda! (But then again, maybe we could have made our way to your place for the hot cocoa!)

Thank you Jess! It was incredible and while I was sad it didn't last longer, I am so thankful for moments of peace like that. And I do love & crave the Nature of seasons.

OK...I'm wondering if your s-i-l's flight left today!
Yes, it did leave yesterday! We spent most of the day at Philly Airport waiting to make sure it took off - what a mess!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
