Snow Scene

I was just about ready to take down the snow scene on my blog ..when a big storm blew through and made that idea go out the window.  We're supposed to have snow off and on all week.  I hope hubby wakes up with time to spare for blowing off the circle driveway.  The black specks on the left side of photo are large basalt bowls (rocks) that surround our bon fire pit and are used for sitting.

Today we're having breakfast for dinner .. and sipping hot tea by the fire.

There goes the snow plow driver up and down the street ... my winter hero.  Have a blessed day.

The snow looks beautiful. We have an inch or so forecast starting any moment now. Sure hope it's coming. One big snow before spring is not too much to ask. Is it? :o)
Hugs~

Mrs. Mac,
Looks like mother nature is playing games with Winter this year for everyone. When you think the snow is gone, surprise...it's back. Stay warm by the fireplace, enjoy your breakfast dinner and some hot tea and let the snow plow take care of the rest! Have a great evening :-)
