Let It Snow....!
It has Snowed quite a bit in my Neighborhood, Dear Readers, piling up 5 inches last Monday and 8 more on Saturday. I didn't need to go anywhere on Saturday, which made it fun to watch the white stuff pile up in the yard! Above you can see my RL back yard... through my dirty windows... because I had no desire to venture out in the cold (18 degrees F) having spent Friday working in a VERY cold Office because our heat system had failed. Last year we had a very mild winter with almost no snow at all... it seems we are off on the other foot this year with much more normal wintry weather! So while I was home and watching the snow fall outside, and was trying to get some work done on my Christmas Card, I thought I would see whether snow was arriving anywhere else in the neighborhood...
Lo and Behold.... not far away....
practically right at my elbow....
a gentle snow had fallen...!
I glanced over my shoulder,
and saw that Hardwick Hall was piled high.....
Somebody would need to shovel all those steps.....!
And around the corner....
at the Conservatory.... it was even deeper!
Fortunately, someone had thought to move
the Secret Christmas House indoors!
But nobody was around....
the walks were not shoveled....
It was getting dark and felt like
maybe it would even snow some more.....!
And over at The Folly....
someone had left a light on in the Little Glass House....
it was nearly dark now!
The lights cast beautiful shadows on the glittering snow....!
But even when the lights are turned off....
there is a beautiful brilliance to snow at night....!
Especially with the added glow of Christmas Lights
Here at dusk in my RL Garden!
Well, Dear Readers, I really am
trying to work on my Christmas Card!
It will not be done on time this year,
but I am finally making some good progress,
so rest assured there WILL be a Christmas Card!
And while I am drawing,
I will be Dreaming.....
And it looks like we will have a White Christmas!
Let It Snow!
