Snow was falling....now it stopped. We got about 2". It was so peaceful this morning to look out. I had two cups of coffee and then had to get moving to wake my husband up!
My patio set and my bird feeders...
Out my front door on to the front porch...I still have a lit tree on my porch. No Christmas ornaments on it; just white lights. It is still fresh and pretty so it will be here a while.
The wood burning stove with my water pump below. Waiting to hold some begonia and geranium next Summer.
Valentine hearts and my shed in the background. So pretty and peaceful.
Caitlin has our Girl Scout Father/Daughter dance tonight. We call it an escort dance but it is 99% Dads. The theme this year is "Once Upon A Time..." My co-leader made some adorable blue and silver candy bags and I made these hand mirrors.
They have long ribbons to flow. The tag says "Who's the Fairest of them all?" I hope they like them. My husband said the girls dance the first dance with their Dads and then run around the whole time and eat the snacks. The Dads just hang out and talk. Still a fun night for all.
I've been doing a lot of cooking this week in the cold weather. I made chilli and chicken francese and muffins and a rustic Italian tomato stew. Our temps have been hovering near 0. It's going to be that way on into the weekend. Cold weather just makes me want to cook and when I cook I eat.....
Stay in and be cozy !
Have a great weekend!
Love your hand mirrors. What a special night for your daughter and husband. We're still digging out from our blizzard. No complaints. Even our university closed today. We're celebrating with our outdoor Christmas lights turned back on this evening. Winter hugs!!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the girls will love the little mirrors. I'm glad to hear that so many dads attend. Your cooking sounds a lot like mine, hot and comfort food. Yes, we're coping comfortably and cozily through this winter. The years are just slipping by for me and I kind of wish they'd slow down.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds so beautiful, Francine.

Thanks for visiting my blog! It always great to meet someone new! I love your winter pix, especially with those heart in the window! We have some snow, but we're about to get a January thaw, so a lot of it will be gone I suppose by Monday. I'm going to enjoy the warmer weather while we have it though, cause I know we will probably get snow in March! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet hand mirrors, I'm sure the girls loved them! The window with hearts is so pretty. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteGreat post, thanks for sharing it.
