Thunder Snow

I am pleased to report that the snow is falling outside my window. 

Excitement fills the house over this wonderment.

Beginning Snow

Snow doesn’t fall in Atlanta very often.

But when it makes its appearance,

we all feel like a child.

As the tulip tree begins to bloom, the snow has other thoughts.

All signs of life will be coated with ice tonight,

thus causing us to wait until yet another year.

Snowy Tree

Currently, there is about 2 inches of snow on the ground.

Lucky for us, the snow is still falling.

With no where to go, we are enjoying the chili

and sipping hot chocolate.

Enjoy - the novelty of snow has worn off up here!

I hope your trees don't get damaged by ice. Have a hot chocolate for me!

Wasn't the snow beautiful? I was on the deck snapping pictures when it thundered. Snow and thunder - how cool! I'll have photos on my blog later this evening. Not sure they're as lovely as yours though.

These are beautiful, Deb! The snow is heading here and we're to have 3 to 6 inches tomorrow. I'm hoping for a snow day. We're all stocked up.

This snow was so special with the huge flakes. It is really nice. Enjoy your cozy coco. I may have to have a cup myself. Pray for no ice in the morning.

Enjoy your snow. We are currently in the middle of a wind/dust storm. We need some rain, but the clouds are not cooperating at this point...if it rained now, it would be mud falling from the sky!!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Image
Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
