It's Winter Now....

   Yesterday morning the sun was out for about 5 minutes, then it started to snow.
  You can see it on the railing. We were to have 1-3 inches.
  Here it's covering everything but the drives and roads....just as the weatherman said it would.
   You really could not see any farther than across the road. That snow was getting heavier.
 Now you can see where I had just shoveled enough aside to get to the mailbox. It was covered over again.
 The path to the shop to get the shovel ...covered again.  The mail did run. Now the snow at this time was blinding. We ended up with about 6 inches of snow.
  This picture is for you Sheri, @ red rose alley. :):)  It's the little woods in back. This is the pretty part of snow. Not the shoveling of it and certainly not the driving in it. My daughter was stuck on the tarmac at O'Hare, in Chicago for hours...she would probably say not even the flying in snow is nice. Oh my daughter and all the passengers were removed from the plane and had to get rooms . I am hoping she can fly out today. She's on her way to Utah to see her son for the holiday.
   This morning it was cold, colder than a tin t-shirt. 10 degrees with wind chills below zero. It will warm up and our Thanksgiving will be decent. Oh by the way...no new baby yet. Hmm??
   Today the sun is shining, hot-dog  !!   Take care out there today. Be safe. XO

  1. I saw that Chicago got a lot of snow. It stopped just about 70 miles south of us yesterday. I am glad for that- I am NOT ready for snow yet--at all...but then I never am.
    Pretty pictures, Susie.
    I hope you have a blessed wonderful Sunday- xo Diana

  4. Looks lovely, but I am willing to hold off on any here, until Christmas day, and then it can be gone :)
    Hope you stay warm and cozy and you and yours enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving day.

    1. Jo, If it had not snowed till Feb...I would have been truly happy.LOL I am not a fan of winter...never have been...but I have to grow where I was planted, or so it seems. It will be nice on Thanksgiving that will help. Todays' sunshine is just the best. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  5. "Colder than tin t-shirts!" I like that. Sorry about the snow. That storm is coming our way. At the moment they are saying that it will just flurries. By the end of the week it should be back to 60. We are being lulled into a false sense of security. This is one of the warmest Novembers in a while.
    Oh why did you say shoveling!

  8. Hi Susie, I always enjoy your visit and am reading your blog while I eat lunch. We didn't get snow just the cold. I am not ready for that it makes the bones hurt. I love the changing of the seasons, but not looking forward to the cold. I loved your pictures that you shared. Take care and be careful shoveling snow. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley

    1. Shirley, I hate getting chilled to the bone...it takes so long to warm up. I have had a fire in the fireplace all day. But I did sit on my porch in my coat in the sun to say my prayers just now. Blessings to you and your family for a beautiful thanksgiving day. Hugs to you and your sweet husband, xoxo,Susie

    1. Lisa, When I was a kid, I liked snow...never loved it, cause we never had boots or gloves. But the older I get the more work it has become to clearing it. Blessings to you and your family for a wonderful thanksgiving day, xoxo,Susie

  14. Susie,
    I so do love snow but I long for the day that i do not have to drive in it because Hospitals do not close ot have Snow Days!!
    I loved the tree of my Childhood too but simply had no more room for it but do not fear, I have used almost everything from that tree and village in other places....
    Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!!
