Wintery Sunrise....

 Even though the air is cold and it is feeling more winter than fall, sunrise is still pretty.  I love getting pictures of the sun coming up at the break of day.
 The colors are as pretty as the summertime mornings. Today we are going to have rain. I have to tell you how very thankful I am. I got up this morning and there was no ice as predicted yesterday evening.
   The rain today will melt the snow drift in the front yard. I keep telling Ted we need a snow fence. The wind whips around the house and drifts the snow at the steps. It is getting to be a big pain to me.  I can still shovel it....but hey who wants too. LOL.
   Yesterday's shopping trip was a  fun time.  My granddaughter could not make it to go with her mother and I.  Angie and I shopped  for Christmas gifts. Got a couple really nice bargains.  Well yes, I bought some things for myself.  Cards, truffles, and 2 tops.....with long sleeves.
   Hope all of you have a good day and get to have time with loved ones. XO

    1. Nellie, You know I sure did not need anything other than the blanks cards. I love writing to people , just to let them know I am thinking of them. I think I better get some exercise in this week, if I can. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  3. Happy Saturday to you, too and hoping with you the drift goes away. I need to get out and do a little shopping myself. Think I will wait until Monday or Tuesday. Always mañana. I love a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Nice pic.

    1. Nonnie, This was the sunrise on a winter day. I think I would be crazy if I seriously had to shop. Like the old days. LOL. When my daughters were small....I would order from the J.C. Penney catalog. Loved that book. I wish you good feet and luck while shopping. xoxo,Susie

We were suppose to get freezing rain here too and it did not happen. It is a rain filled day but I will take reg. rain over the freezing stuff. Happy Week End.

    1. Kris, Oh me too.. I hate the thought of ice storms and floods. I am not a big fan of snow...but you don't need the rain after the ground gets frozen...too scary. I am hoping for a mild winter. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

  6. Good MORNING!!! I am guessing you are a MORNING person! You would have to be to get those great sunrise pics!! I am more of a sunset gal myself!! I have to ask - what in the world is a snow fence? It is rainy here as well. Good fireplace and sleeping weather! I don't intend to leave the house all day! No make up, no real clothes. I shall stay in my gown until tonight and then put on another one. This MAY be repeated tomorrow although if we are feeling better I would loveto go to Sunday School and church. It is the Hanging of the Greens afterwards with a lunch for the 'hangers!' Happy Saturday, dear friend!

    1. Linda, I do usually get up before 7:00 every morning. I am glad you are getting some much needed rest. All your family needs it right now. I am trying right now to keep the fireplace going. This hickory we are burning thru in our wood pile is so dense it's hard to take flame. I told ted No more hickory. Unless he mixes it with other woods. I wear , what I call slob clothes...lounge pants and t-shirts when I don't go any where. LOL. Blessings for all your family. xoxo,Susie

    1. Laura, I love the very quiet of morning before the world is stirring. I love to take photos of the sun rising and setting too. I do not know how much longer I can call shoveling snow my exercise...it is getting old. Our snow melted today the temperature was in the 50's. Wonderful !! Hope you have a beautiful Sunday, xoxo,Susie

  11. I'm not an early riser, so I rarely get to see the sun rise. But it sure is pretty! Glad to hear that you're getting some much needed rain and not snow. That rain is headed our way tomorrow too.

  13. Your sunrises are so pretty, Susie. I like the sunrises more than the sunsets. How fun that you went shopping with Angie and bought a few things. I went Christmas shopping and bought a few goodies too.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Susie. I'm so thankful for my blog friend in Indiana.

    love,

  14. Pertaining to snow, I don't let the weather bother me, aside from the heating bills, I'm glad I'm not in Buffalo. They've got more snow than we get all winter.
    Sunrise and sunsets are the best. Very nice shots!

    1. Boston Boy, Heck we could wear a snow shovel out up at Buffalo. Yes, those darn heat bills...that's why we burn a lot of fire wood. I like your sun rises and sunsets also. Blessings to you and Arlene too. Hope you thanksgiving is wonderful. xoxo,Susie
