I love snow. It's so magical and sparkling. I love watching it fall and stomping through the woods when the ground is white, but my favorite part is that peculiar kind of quiet that only comes with snow. We don't get much here (some of you might argue that's why I romanticize it :), so I'm thankful for even an inch or two. I love winter in general, honestly. I know most people don't because cold weather is harder on everyone: the danger of slipping and sliding, freezing pipes, having to break the ice in the animals' water troughs, etc.
But our summer is so incredibly humid and hot, complete with snakes, ticks, and mosquitoes, that I much prefer this cold, cozy season. Besides, I love being able to wear wool socks and knitted cowls and mitts all the time. My knitting hobby isn't very practical in the summer. :)
{P.S. Do you remember when I embroidered the To Kill a Mockingbird book cover several years ago? The wonderfully talented artist who designed that cover, Sarah J. Coleman, (it's my favorite cover for one of my favorite books) featured my piece on her blog! You can check it out here.}
Beautiful pictures, Kristin! We have not had snow once this winter (yet, anyway). I think most people are ready for spring, but I wouldn't mind a snow day myself. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) This is our first "real" snow, too...we had about an inch earlier in the winter, but that's it.
DeleteWe don't get much snow here either, so even just a little bit makes me happy too! It's so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree- snow is definitely pretty! It makes everything look different...and better. :)
DeleteIt's amazing that your To Kill A Mockingbird embroidery project was noticed by the original artist! Congratulations. :D
ReplyDeleteSnow is magical! We had quite a bit of snowfall this weekend, and I enjoyed every minute of it (from inside, while drinking tea and reading books, of course) - my dad is the one who spent all day plowing the major drifts blocking the neighbors' and our driveway. ;)
Thanks! Yes, it does seem like snow (and cold weather in general) causes more trouble for dads than it does for the rest of us. :)
DeleteLovely photos. I'm a snow fan too. I actually one of those weird people who enjoys shoveling. (As long as the snow's not too heavy.) We got about six inches yesterday and are supposed to get storms come through tomorrow and again this weekend! Sometimes I wonder if I'd love it as much if I lived further north...?
ReplyDeleteSix inches sounds like the perfect amount of snow to me. :) I wish we'd have one like that before winter is over!
