Yessirrebob...it snowed and snowed and then snowed some more.
Ahhh...fresh snow to taste. Remember that snow ice cream that Mom used to make when we were kids? Growing up in Texas snow ice cream was a rare treat since Texas is pretty stingy with snow storms. Kinda like what we have experienced here in the midwest for the last two years, except ofcourse, until yesterday. When my kids were little the word was "don't eat the snow, the dangerous particles that float around in the sky has contaminated it"...oh boo hoo, so since I didn't want to contaminate my kids, no snow ice cream for them.
As the weary working people were fighting their way home from work in all that snow....I was enjoying my tulips, some fresh bean soup and a corn muffin (one of the two muffins that I bought at the grocery store, the chocolate one had been devoured earlier in the day). Now you see how I can appreciate the snow more than others. It was a "didn't step my foot out the door kinda day for me". I did my fair share of tromping in the snow when I was in the "working world"....I can remember crossing those bridges in downtown Chicago when the wind-chill factor was -20...I did my due diligence, now it's warm bean soup and tulips.
Wonder what in the world this was used for....too small for barn or house sitting in the middle of a field...I know you must think this is pretty random what with the post being about snow etc, but I wanted to link to Madge's Rurality Blog Hop and none of the above shots resembled anything close to rural. So, OK?
Reminder to self....Easter will be here in 3 1/2 weeks.
Gotta go....Bible Study and I am not dressed yet.
Until next time....
Haha...loving those shots of Toby...too cute! Snow headed our way this afternoon. The wind is howling right now. UGH!
ReplyDeleteLove your shots of toby! He is so enjoying the snow! And love that color in the red bean soup and corn muffins! The photos are superb. Yes I very well remember working in Chicago and walking across those bridges. Doubled over at times! Much nicer to be home enjoying the amazing colors
ReplyDeleteThat is some serious snow! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, and on that fresh snow ice cream our mothers made... I also remember riding my bike behind the mosquito fogger too thinking how interesting the mist was.... And I am still alive to tell about it!
ReplyDeleteToby's shots are so cute! Today I've enjoyed the tempratures of Spring, 17 degrees - Celsius :) so I'm all in the mood for your stunning red Tulips.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos today! I especially like the "rurality" shot. Love the texture that makes it look like a beautiful painting. Well, looking at that snow makes me realize that we are in for it tomorrow. Allegedly, we have between 8 and 16 inches coming.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful shots of Toby playing the snow; obviously he loves it....He is such a beautiful dog and I know you must enjoy all of his antics...The lunch shot is so welcoming and soup is always perfect on a "stay in" day. Love the texture you used on your rural shot. I wonder if that building is a smoke house. We have them all over in the south and it's where they hang meat like ham to process.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Bible study was insightful and be safe with all that snow....
Your little dog is soooo cute! And I love your reds.
ReplyDeleteYes. I do believe you got some snow. Toby seems to love it all.
ReplyDeleteBeing a 'Texas Girl' myself, I do remember those rare snow days, and the snow ice cream. Yum...
Glad you were able to stay inside.
I love that texture. Makes the photo look like a painting.
Toby looks delightful in all that snow. The bird bath reminded me of a giant glass handled door knob. Love all your images, as always. You have such a pleasing style. Enjoy your bean soup and tulips! You've earned that.
ReplyDeleteThat snow... oh and there is so much of it ... made me shiver and then there were the red tulips and they warmed my heart. Love your post today. Hugs.
ReplyDeletewell you and me are 'on the same page' Deanna when you start your post with Yessirrebob. You'll have to remind me though 'his' name, you've caught me unawares but I do certainly remember him and can see his face and that phrase was a winner, always made me laugh. LOVED the snow photographs; gosh you sure must have to rug up when going out. And do you need snow-tyres to drive with?
ReplyDeleteThe picture with the snow on his face is priceless! It's nice to see your snow pictures since I won't be seeing any of that any time soon.
ReplyDeleteoh mercy me oh my, i love that old shed & texture!
ReplyDeletethank you for your response...
sorry about no email address listed anywhere, but my blog is messed up. a while back, texwis girl left a comment letting me know that the one i had listed didn't work, so i tried to fix it, but never was able to so i just deleted it.
much appreciated =)
Wow, that's a lotta snow! Bean soup sounds so good right now..but nothing so good tonight. Just salads and a Smart Ones.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love all of these images!
ReplyDeleteYou sure did get snow. We got only a little last night but it's all gone.
That bunny is so cute! I should get busy decorating!
Stay warm!
Love those images if Toby!!!! I DO love fresh snow. Cute bunny shot. The tulips are brilliant and so is your rural shot.
ReplyDeletelove the little building. love your snow pup, too!
ReplyDeletelove your shots of your little one in the snow and the red tulips. I can't wait for spring. I work at a school so I love snow days only if its enough that we get to stay home LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love all these shots! What IS it with dogs and snow? Do the noses dive in of their own accord, "Hey! Where's the smell I'm used to here?" or is it the sensation? The joy of something different? And I love your table! The reds: bowl, the spoon, tablecloth, and, of course, the tulips! And the rural shot! And the bunny! What a fun post! (And I love your flowers from the previous post, too.
ReplyDeleteNot only is God stingy with snow in Texas, but He has also held out the rain!!! We need some praying for us down here before we dry up and turn to dust!!!
ReplyDeleteYour puppy is adorable with that snow on his nose!!! What a darling picture!
Where did you get your checkered spoon? And the polka dot bowl? I have red, white and black in my kitchen and would love to buy some of those!!! And I adore your vase with the cherries, too!!! And those tulips are to die for!!! I some too!
Love that photo of your pup in the snow! So dear! Tulips and soup in that pretty bowl sound like a good way to spend a snowy evening! xx
ReplyDeleteGoodness a lot of snow for sure, your doggie is just way too cute out there in the snow. Loved that barn or whatever it is.
ReplyDeleteAwww.. That photo of your little doggie is adorable. looks like he is loving all that snow. I would be just like you and not leave the house during a big snow storm. I would sit inside and enjoy the beauty.. Lots of pretty photos here today..
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Very pretty snow pictures! : )
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to get up to 6" from that same storm but the winds didn't cooperate & we didn't see a smidge!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, I love the colorful bowls with the polka dots. It snowed here too. I love it, but sadly it is leaving very fast. Wishing you a wonderful weekend - Betsy
ReplyDeleteLOVE these shots... Easter, yes it is coming... and the little barn looks very pretty in a painterly way... Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #5' Hope to see you next Wednesday for #6...
