Here's what we woke to on the morning of the solstice. About three inches overnight.
Beautiful and I don't have to go out in it!
Out front my glass ornament which I forgot to bring in before the snow, is a dot of color.
Lovely indoor time working on gloves, listening to a well narrated Horowitz, while outside workers are shoveling and sanding the walkways.
Cream soup with a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Someone swept the snow off my car, so nice. I ran the engine for a few minutes while I checked the mail and consigned it, the junk mail, to the recycle.
Happy day everyone, whichever Solstice you're celebrating.
Very pretty. I hope it looks as nice on Christmas Day.
ReplyDeleteIt might be gone by then!
DeleteThat snow is beautiful. I love your nod to both solstices!
ReplyDeleteQuite a few readers in the southern Hemisphere, so I like them to know they're also front and center. I like Boynton's take.
DeleteEnjoy the new snow. We just really have old snow right now. We need some new stuff.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if we'll get more soon. Temps next week in the 40s and up.
DeleteVery pretty to look at, particularly with your glass ornament, but so nice to see from inside a warm house, knowing that you do not need to go out in it.
ReplyDeleteI don't look back with joy on the petcare years when I was out seven days a week in all weathers, sometimes following the snowplow.
DeleteBeautiful fresh snow that you don't have to go out in is the best kind! Love those snowmen from around the world, lol.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the Easter Island panel.
DeleteThe first photo is a keeper. The light is lovely!
ReplyDeleteShot through a window with a low level Android phone! Just the right moment though.
DeleteYour outdoor view looks pretty close to ours. Very glad not to have to go out today because the temperature right now is -21C. Enjoyed the snowmen, especially Easter Island.
ReplyDeletePretty frigid here, too. I hope my car starts. I just want to keep the battery up, not go anywhere
DeleteWe got about the same snow, and I do have to go out in it - fortunately I consider livestock care to be the foundation of my healthcare routine :)
ReplyDeleteYes, animal care is a way to keep moving! I was out in it, but not driving, which is what I'm glad to avoid.
DeleteFresh snow really does make things like magical, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI really was going to make a cream of something soup last night but I thought that what we really needed was vegetables and more vegetables and so...
The cream of something soup will come along soon, though.
Menus always subject to last minute changes. Soon you'll need cream o' something soup.
DeleteI'm not a big fan of snow, having had more than my share of having to drive through it, but looking out is okay.
Very cool that you're working on gloves! How fun! Happy Winter Happy Summer!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending off several pairs after the holiday.
DeleteWonderful fun!!!!
DeleteI always love photos of snow. Especially when is summer over here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good distance from it!
DeletePretty snow. We had about the same amount yesterday and overnight.
ReplyDeleteIt's plenty, for my liking.
DeleteLovely to look at it, glad you didn't have to be out in it. Happy Solstice to you, and soon the hens will say "Ah, the days are lengthening. Time to fire up the ovaries!".
ReplyDeleteChris from Boise
Plants, too, note the lengthening light, before people do.
DeleteI like those snowmen around the world and have sent it on to a couple of my kids.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, isnt it?
DeleteWow! What a change. Very pretty but cold. I always forget that snow is cold!
ReplyDeleteUed, pictures dont convey that. Also wet and heavy.
DeleteThat was yes, that weird word .
DeleteGreat snowmen (or snow people - do we do PC on snow sculptures?)
ReplyDeleteWe could do snow figures?
