Look Quick ~ It's Snowing Down South


As I've been reading about snow falling in different areas throughout blogland ...


I've been conjuring up pictures of those fluffy white flakes gently falling outside my window ...



I guess you could say I've been thinking snow.


While I know that Christmas will come ~ snow or no snow ...


There's really nothing like a snowfall to set the mood for Christmas.


Wrapping presents while watching the snowflakes fall sounds dreamy to me...

Wrapping presents as the snowflakes fall while sipping warm and creamy hot cocoa sounds even dreamier :)

Here in the southern U.S. our snowfalls are rare.  We usually see at least one per winter, but sometimes you have to look quick or you'll miss it.


As was the case on Saturday when we received this little dusting.
If you live further north, you're probably chuckling about now.  Being from Michigan I completely understand.


We may not get a huge quantity of snow down here, but ...
in this instance a little goes a long way or maybe it's quality over quantity.  Whatever the case may be, I'll take what I can get .

  2. This SoCal born girl can't stop watching snow fall here in Utah, and is POUTING that rain is melting our two feet of white from Thanksgiving day storm.

    I like how you have compensated for minimal snowfall with lots of wintery blue decorations.

  3. That's about all I want per day. Nothing major! So far, so good. We got a light dusting this morning. Oh I see that you've been working on a mosaic for your header. It looks great! Love your tree skirt, too. Did you make it?

  5. Every year I enjoy watching the first flakes of the season fall and we always want a white blanket for Christmas. We had just a few flakes this AM.

    Your snowmen are cute!

  7. We're further south than you, so our snow fall/dusting would be every 3 to 5 years. If I could order some snow, I'd like it for 2 days.... picky, picky me.....

    Your snowmen are so cute, and I love your tree skirt!!
    Hugs,

  8. Hi Kim,
    That's OK we get NO snow any
    time of the year in Adelaide,
    South Australia. Today we are
    getting heavy tropical rain?!
    That's unusual for us too!
    I enjoy your blog. Thanks for
    the lovely story about writing
    notes in books. Very sweet.
    Also your Australian photos
    were great.
    When its hot here I love to
    think of snow and snowmen;)

  9. Your soft blue and white creates a dreamy feel for me as I read down through your blog today. Snow or no snow, you can create winter beauty just by arranging things like you do. Keep on dreaming of a white Christmas my friend, it just may happen for you.
    Happy day to you!
