This is the little snow we had on Sunday afternoon. The one that melted over night. :)
Monday afternoon the skies were clearing, but not before I got this shot of a sun dog.
As the day went on the skies we so pretty. It was 43 with little wind, so it was actually nice enough to be out side for a walk.
See what I mean, mostly clear skies.
The sunset seemed calming to me. Hope your Monday was a good start to the week.
I went to Jean's Flowers in Tipton. Jean is so creative with her displays. The poinsettias just popped with their brilliant reds. I like the shutter with a wee roof over the top and a shelf at the bottom.
Don't you like the lights? Lots of reds and twig items.
These old Santa boots are so cute. Love the greenery and candy canes stuck in them.
Dog statue with the Joy sign, love it.
Jean's plants are always healthy and shiny. I like the mixture of dark and light greens.
This tree made from wood topped with a metal star....love it. Jean had some things for sale,in the walk thru of the mini mall. I bought a magazine from 1965. I will show it later this week.
Wishing everyone a great day. Look for some joy and make some by smiling . XO
Hi Susie,
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest little shops in your home town. That little sprinkling of snow you got we did not fair as well. We got over 7.5 inches. So pretty though for the first snow of the season.
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Kris
Kris, I did not realize you got that much snow. I did hear where the quad cities got plenty. I hope the blond bombshell got back to Green Bay. :):) Thank you for thinking of me, I received your beautiful Christmas card yesterday. Made me smile ear to ear. Bless your sweet heart, xoxo, Susie
DeleteNo snow for us yet. Lots of gray skies though. What a pretty plant shop. XO Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, Some times too many days in a row of gray skies brings me down. So I am hoping you are doing okay there. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie

ReplyDeleteThe sky looks gorgeous! We got a rain shower this morning...much needed! Love seeing the poinsettias! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, Glad you got rain you needed. It was all misty here this Tuesday. I love to see poinsettias and have bought them often...But now I use fake. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI would love browsing in a shop like that! I haven't been out of the house but once since Thanksgiving but today I am picking up my normal routine and doing Tuesday with all the traditions!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, You have been on a mission girl...all that decorating. It looks so worth it when I see pictures of your home. I love when you and Ruth Ann paint though, so I will be looking for pictures. Blessings, Love,xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch lovely photos, Susie!! I would have a hard time walking away without bringing home at least one of those lovely plants!
ReplyDeleteI truly do love real plants, but I am not so good with them in the house. I used to buy real poinsettias now I use fake. Hope you are doing okay there. It was drizzling all day here. and Tomorrow may be bits of sunshine. Loving that. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLovely photos as always! I love Christmas lights! I think they're so pretty! It's just been raining here the past few days. I live in SC, so we don't get snow that often lol. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeletePilar, I have only been to S.C. once. My daughter and I stayed in Charleston for a week, on our vacation . I truly loved it. Such a beautiful town. So much history too. Glad you are getting rain , so no draught. I always worry about flooding too. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love your cheery photos! I've always liked Indiana - I have some cousins that live there.
ReplyDeleteHi Debby Marie, Thank you for stopping by. It's always nice to meet new people . Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe are suppose to get a dusting tomorrow afternoon......I am ready!
ReplyDeleteHope you don't get too much. I know come this weekend we are to have some snow. I would like for any big snows to hold off till Jan. :) Blessings, hope you are doing well. xoxo, Susie
DeleteNo snow here, but it is cold now and feeling more like the season. I enjoyed your visit to Jean's flower shop. Beautiful and colorful. So Christmassy. You're right. The sunset is calming.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I love going to the florist to see all the pretty plants . I love to walk around our driveways and watch the setting sun. Blessings , xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a fun tour! I like getting ideas from other's creativity. And i love red. We've got serious snow, and i think this one is the one that stays until April. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Enjoy the sunshine. It's another gray day here.
ReplyDeleteJudy, Oh my, I hate to think of snow on the ground all winter. I have to have some sunshine here and there. I liked that shutter with the shelf and roof at Jean's flower shop.:) Blessings, stay warm,xoxo, Susie
DeleteThat is a beautiful shop, Susie. My hubby bought me a poinsettia the size of that big one. So pretty. Looked like a lovely morning for a walk..Happy Holidays..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteJudy, I love beautiful poinsettias, they make it so festive. I usually go to our other flower shop too...but I have not been anywhere with my sisters,for so long. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeletePoinsettias really brighten a room. I love the marbled pink and white ones too. It looks like we're in for much colder weather this week. Stay warm!!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I saw poinsettias in many different colors one year at our local Marsh grocery. I thought my mom would have loved the lilac color. But I love the red ones. It's so cold here this Thursday morning and the wind is fierce. We will be cold this coming weekend. Stay warm there. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGreat displays / vignettes. I love visiting where someone has made such pretty displays to enjoy. Merry Christmas. Sheila
ReplyDeleteI always like to go to Jean's Flowers. She has been in our community for many years. She's very good at decorating, her shop is small, so there's plenty there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThose poinsettias really stand out at the flower shop. I still have to get one for Christmas! I noticed the magazine you bought from 1965 in your last post, very cool. And the "JOY" sign is perfect for the Christmas season. Wishing you so much joy in the days leading up to Christmas, Susie.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, I have noticed more reds this year in Christmas decorations. I love the red poinsettias. Glad you still get one. Bless you, love, Susie
